Last time I targeted a platform I think was in the old Windows Forms days.
I wonder if you misread the question. It says "ON WHAT", not "FOR WHAT".

That's a good point
I did in fact misread the question.
Thanks for the remark but I think I'm not alone here.
Is it possible that so many people are actually writing code on a Smartphone? iPad? Directly on a supercomputer or mainframe?
Hummmm... I guess if I'd never posted my comment you would have never catch me either!
Cheers!

That someday I will write programs for Mainframes or Supercomputers, never tried one, never touched one, never saw it, but read about it in a few books and other stuff like that, but do I want to try it out.
I have of course tried application programming for them all, the rest of them, oh yeah remove that "None"; the ones other than that. Application programming in C++ or C# or Java is not as much a harder thing to do, seriously. Everything is already managed. You just continue to write something, above that IDE tells you if there is some error, that's not at all fun. Programming must be fun, right?
I really have a dream, someday, I will write a program for Supercomputer. So, let's hope for it to come true soon.I have tried many platforms to write and compile source code against. Windows was the initial, and I have been using Windows since then to write the applications and test them, or deploy them here and there.
Recently, I have found myself shifting the frameworks, I am more active in Ubuntu. Ubuntu comes in a wide variety of flavors (mine is Ubuntu Studio), I am not interested in installing it in a Virtual Machine. Works as a charm!
I have tried installing the SDK, it takes just like 10 minutes on my device to get everything set up. Plus, Qt creator allows me to have the source code compiled for multiple platforms. If someday I have to chose something other than Windows, I will chose Ubuntu Studio (not the vanilla Ubuntu) and if I have to chose something other than Visual Studio, I will go with Qt creator.

I found laptop to light for my work - I use to hit my computers from time to time...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

I bought a (refurbished) Dell M6500 - not too light.
This is sort of the bottom of the series which can go to i7.
On the other hand, if you include the huge power supply, we're talking 4 kilos to schlep.
Not too light in the other sense, as well.

My laptop isn't. 24 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 1 TB high-speed HDD, 3 GB video memory, support for all the latest OpenGL and DirectX stuff, and a lot more. It weighs quite a bit too.

You sure? I don't think laptops are bad or desktops are better than laptops.
I started to learn programming on a P4 Dell computer, but, left the computers to have a laptop. I find myself better in laptops and ever since then (like 2011) I am using laptops and I am fine with it.
You may want to hit a little lighter, in case of a laptop.

You can write code on a laptop, but you'll be much faster doing it on a desktop. It's mainly because laptop screens are too small.

My laptop has a 17.3" screen. Not bad for coding. I also often connect it to my 40" 1080p HDTV using HDMI.

Smartphones can be used for other productive things such as skyping chatting etc, but coding looks like a waste of time and energy

I almost selected Mainframe/server, but decided that I write very little on them now so I'd just stick with PC/Laptop.
But while I'm at it, I might as well ask for clarification. If I'm sitting at a PC, running a Terminus Emulator, TELNETed into a Mini-computer, editting/compiling/linking code on the host; does that count as PC or what?
Is the question really about where the editor and compiler reside and run? Or about which system I'm more directly connected?

I guess it would be the biggest device in your chain of terminals.
I use a big xeon cad workstation, so I choose server.

I did have a C# compiler on my Android Tablet (you entered the code, it squirted it to the web server which compiled and ran it) and it was a PITA. Autocorrect and Auto Capitalise made it frustrating, and it was just so damn slow to "type" code in!
if (a == 6) { b = 2 + i; } Took 37 "taps" due to the need to keep tapping "change keyboard mode" to get the non-alpha characters.
I don't do that any more...

Silly you!
When you use the expression 'try a tablet' and coding, the obvious meaning of table is something more akin to Vicodin or Oxycontin.
