You dont say much about your true needs... and software developper is quite vague: what kind? using what language(s) ?
Most commands ( user or man (1)) are the same on all, but syntax can vary...
None have a true backup facility except AIX and HP-UX but I may be wrong there as long time since last time I looked out...
cron implementation can change in linux world...
all share the same directory structure ( / being the root...) but again can vary if you are Unix V... compliant meaning you use /opt and pending /var/opt etc...
The default FS can vary too and you have quite some choice...

What fo you intend to use as a platform?
RAM?
CPUS?
Disks?

mx 2 cents.
