Wow, how typical. You point out the shortcomings of Linux and someone takes personal offense. Just one more thing wrong with linux: It's community.

Yes, we are a community, which is why we usually try to help each other with our problems. If there exists a problem, then we can ask others for help, and they help us fix it. Otherwise we have to wait on a telephone for 3 hours before Mircosoft tells us that they can't help us unless we ship our computer to them. (Real experience)

No. Supporting Linux is not hard at all [opera.com]. It's not like you have to release 10 different packages for each distribution you support... and stuff.

so go after one distro at a time. The modifications for each aren't that complex once you have a base. Would just take some tweaking.

You say "It's not as hard as you think." I say, "It's easier said than done."

For a linux developer, this would not be difficult. For a Windows only developer, it could take 10+ years.

Yeah, I'm a troll. Instead of developing a modern tool chain, linux folk scream, "Emacs/VIM, the GNU toolchain and a command line debugger is all you will ever need!" Which, wherein lies the most fundamental problem of the Linux crowd, they feel entitled to tell people what they should want and need, rather than listen to what people want and need. And then you call them a troll.

No one was telling you what to want. He just said that he didn't like C#... Use what you want. We honestly don't care.
