I agree mostly with you about that, but I do have to point out that there are very few viruses out there for Unix based operating systems (probably about the same number as Mac OS X). And you can get antivirus software for Linux, too:

Development on it has pretty much stopped for all platforms. A common alternative recommendation is Code::Blocks, which has a very similar interface but is in steady development.
Of course, Linux people have their own favorites: KDevelop, Anjuta, emacs, vi, etc, etc.

I just use
For GUIs
I was dabbling with mono but the gui builder isn't quite the same. Eclipse for java was ok, but personally wxWidgets is starting to grow on me. It's pretty light as well.
g++ or gcc with whatever the text editor happens to be.For GUIs

I have no idea about MAC, never tried one. But I hear they are great for graphics, much better than MS-Windows.
Wouldn't the quality of graphics have much more to do with displays and their drivers?
