Sorry for double post. Just to better illustrate the case, there's this famous story about Churchill:

Churchill’s response: “Then what are we fighting for?” Same with running programs in Wine: well, maybe it is possible, but it ultimately defies the reason of running the said programs on Linux. Same well you could say that programs written for KDE are crossplatform because it is possible to install KDE on most major operating systems...
