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.
