I dual boot Windows and Arch Linux. I only keep Windows around for some games that don't work in Linux currently, as well as the occasional software that doesn't have a Linux equivalent (or the equivalent has issues such as compatibility) though. Mostly everything else is done in Linux, and I'm quite happy with it!
As for the "why" on Linux, I've always loved interacting in a CLI environment, and enjoy the dev experience on Linux. And as cliche as it sounds, I do like "owning" my system and feeling like I actually get to make executive decisions as to how/what it runs.
