C#, obviously. It's the only modern language that provides ALL of the following:

1) Static and dynamic typing

2) OOP and functional paradigms

3) Multi-platform via single framework: WP, Android, iOS, Mac, PC, Xbox, PS4, Linux etc.

4) Two super-powerful IDE-integrated static analysis tools to choose from: ReSharper and Roslyn

5) Mature workflows for developing Web, mobile, enterprise apps and games.

6) High performance on WP and desktop, reasonable elsewhere.

No powerful IDE on Linux / OS X.

Doesn't contradict with my statement, but yes. Luckily the rest 97% of developers are covered.

Are you sure that 97% developers use Windows? From my experience developers use Linux / OS X more often than regular users.

Only if you mean web applications. Many do write desktop applications.

Not only web applications. There's all the iOS devs, for instance. Pretty big market, and it's rather hard to do this job on a Windows machine.

Those are not on GNU/Linux systems.

As for the market size it is a matter of perspective. On my home country iOS comes out on third place.

monodevelop is no visual studio but works just as well as the best other linux programming ides

Work in progress, but looks very promissing: http://www.omnisharp.net

IntelliJ?

Now that .NET is going open source, I wouldn't be surprised if JetBrains came up with some good cross-platform IDE for C# and the rest of the gang

I thought linux developpers didn't use IDEs...damn time have changed !
