I'm going to join you or at least offer a personal example.

The best programmer I have ever met programmed medical equipment in assembly when he graduated undergrad. I met him in graduate school and he was scary good regardless of the language.

I use synergy http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ for sharing one mouse and keyboard across two monitors and OSes. I use Linux on the right and Mac on the left. Would never go back. Like someone said read documentation on one, code on another.
