I&#x27;m sure they care.  The point I was trying to make is that if someone builds free software and intentionally limit support to a certain platform then people complaining about that doesn&#x27;t really make sense.<p>On the other hand if you care about your free software attracting more users (some of whom could be developers who help push the software forward for everyone&#x27;s benefit) then you should aim to target as many platforms as possible.  I think there&#x27;s a good correlation between successful open source products and the number of platforms they support.<p>Reading the blog and the comments (and the un-pulled GitHub pull request with changes to build under Windows) it seems the tone is that the developers aren&#x27;t strongly motivated to get this working on Windows.  They&#x27;re entitled to their opinion, it&#x27;s their software ...  I just think they&#x27;re thinking about this the wrong way.  They seem to be thinking why should <i>we</i> do all this work for a platform we don&#x27;t care about and carry the porting effort and the maintenance burden on our shoulders.  Maybe I&#x27;m reading too much between the lines or this is reminding me of other similar situations...
