in defense of CDM commenters, i don't think that this is the mindset
at all, really. i think its more like "look, 98.5% of all possible
users of this stuff do not run linux, so why would you release a cool
creative tool that only runs on a platform that almost nobody uses?"
*if* the percentages are roughly correct (and they likely are), then i
think its a reasonable question to ask. however, the questioner needs
to be able to deal with the answer being something along the lines of
"because i wanted to" or "because i didn't write it for all those
other people" or even "because i wanted other people who use the same
platform as me to have more cool tools" or perhaps even "because i
think its a better platform". i think its fine to ask the question,
but people have to accept the answer too.
