While I know what you mean ...
I used to be maintainer on Wine AppDB for several years. Nothing ever
worked from one release to the next. WINE spent 10y as an alpha
release and it started to get embarrassing so they called it beta.
Everything still, broke , it is still an alpha produce in all but name.
Sadly the target is moving faster than their ability to emulate it.
As for attempting to run a stable and secure OS inside an insecure
and unstable one, that's a great way to combine all the disadvantages
of both. Probably clinically certifiable behaviour or at least
"autistic spectrum".
On the other hand, without wine (and mono) I couldn't run WIX on Linux.
If I couldn't run WIX on Linux then I could not build WIndows
Installer Packages on Linux.
If I couldn't build WIndows Installer Packages on Linux then I would
not be able to have one script building for both Linux and Windows targets.
And then what would be the point of having cross-compilers and cross
platform libraries in the first place.
