I'll speculate that the vast majority of the world runs Linux as
their Subversion server. So that's +1 for being the most widely
used, and therefore most discussed and debugged platform.

I'll also speculate that the developers develop it primarily on
Linux. +1

Another +1 is that most Linux distros package it for you so you
won't have to do all the manual building of it (and its
dependencies!). And +1 you can even rely on your distro to keep it
up to date for you.

And as you mentioned, +1 Linux is free.

That's a lot of +s.
