Many developers do not ever touch anything mac, do not use IDEs other than Emacs or VIM, do not care about browsers, etc.

So a title is extremely misleading. For a large proportion of the developers most of the listed tools are pretty useless.

And not to mention that "most open source tools and frameworks were developed for OSX, then ported to Windows or Linux" is very far from being correct anywhere outside of the tiny web-development world.

Other than Vim or Emacs (which I do mention in my post), which tools do you use? And which tools would you recommend for beginners?

Besides git or mercurial, there is no single set of tools which can be universally usable across the developers' profiles range. There is a huge diversity of needs, cultures and methodologies out there.
