I no longer am using Windows because I found that setting up Ubuntu + Erlang was actually quite easy and painless. I started off with Hyper-V and Ubuntu VMs, and then gradually transitioned myself to running it on bare metal as my experience with VMs in Ubuntu has been less than fruitful. Then I found Elixir and this made the process even easier, since Elixir does documentation so ridiculously well. 
As for my current tooling, I point you to the Atom thread. Emacs has too many chords for my taste,
and I’ve become more adept at Vim, but I’ve found Atom to be the most productive. I also use VS Code some when working on the javascript side of things.
(Thanks for moving this question @AstonJ…I had asked that it be moved when starting to write this thing!)
