Is that really the aim of Emacs on Windows? Presumably it could also make
GNU/Linux users feel more comfortable on Windows and they could switch the
other way.
I do not know if that is the aim, but at least I consider it one of the
goals.
If we would assume that feeling comfortable on the other system was
equal then it woudl be much more people switching from Windows to
GNU/Linux just because there are more people using Windows. Now if Emacs
does not work well on Windows people on Windows will never be
comfortable with Emacs. Unless they switch to GNU/Linux without beeing
comfortable with Emacs of course, but then Emacs have not helped them
feeling at home on GNU/Linux. (And they may instead look for Windows
tools on GNU/Linux.)
