And then there are just plain cranky old goats like me, who will
in a typical day/week be using HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, MacOS, and
a growing list of "W" variations -- who is TOTALLY FED UP with
having to write the same code more than once, whether its for
day-pay, private consulting, volunteer work, personal enjoyment,
self-education, or whatever.
Which is why any tool that is not supported on every platform I
routinely use (or may [have to] use in the future) is of little
interest to me. (Even though circumstances may force me to be
"flexible" on occasion ;-)
