I could probably function without it, but it's a nice little kick in the ass to get me started, especially when I know I'm going to be up for a long time. And it tastes soooo gooood.
As for the "learning a new OS" thing... most of the documentation for Rails is written for Linux or Mac, and the "ever so slight" changes that are required for running it on Windows can get frustrating as fuck, especially when you are trying to troubleshoot problems. Rather than having to guess my way around and hope that I understand the framework properly when I attempt anything, I figured I'd install Ubuntu and use it as my "working" OS and just do all of my programming and whatnot from here, and leave Windows as my "personal" OS.
