Sorry, but this sounds pretty rude. If you have a grudge, do
something about it and stop whining about our support for tons of *nix
platforms instead of Windows. For the most part, the reason *nix
platform support is more popular is because that's what most of us use
on a daily basis.
Keep in mind this is an open source project and a lot of us have more
important things to work on than simple porting. It's easy to
criticize, it's much harder to do the actual work.
