This development system is of primary usage to the programmer. Since when does any games company require its programmers to use any of the above tools?
Sure, the musicians/graphic artists etc use the tools above, and they can continue to use `doze.
The programmer however only needs Linux, and a development kit.

Nonsense.
There is no reason why one Linux box couldn't do both tasks.
You seem to be under the misguided impression that games programmers are involved in the creation of things other than code. Sure this happens on occasions, but I think you'll find in a vast majority of development houses, everyone has _one_ function.
