It was in fact because he was full of shit. A decent programmer (or even one who's used something a little more advanced than RPG Maker) should be able to explain his reasons for not picking a certain environment to develop in.
Personally, the programming argument is irrelevant; the entire GCC tool chain can be built on Mac OS X if you don't like Apple's modifications to it.
I don't like to use Windows; however I can develop for it quite readily because the GCC tool chain is available for that as well. If it's about the tools I enjoy, OS X has vim and gcc, Linux has vim and gcc, Windows has vim and gcc (although I use Visual Studio).
Now, the fact that Windows is a bloated piece of shit designed to sell newer and better hardware every release along with rampant bugs is another matter.
I don't care about developing for it -- Microsoft's tools are (gasp!) pretty damned decent actually.
