Actually, my primary production environment is Linux. Haiola is cross-platform, and runs equally well on Windows and Linux. I have made it work on Mac, too, but it wasn't really worth the effort to support that platform, so I asked both of the Mac users of Haiola to use a virtual machine with one of the other operating systems on it.

As a general strategy, I believe the wisest course of action, and the course of action I understand to be Troy's intention, is to be cross-platform, especially with respect to end users. I believe that we have enough module maintainers and developers on both Linux and Windows to support both, and preferably Mac, too. For front ends for end users, it isn't even a serious debate that we should support, as a minimum, Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS going forward, and keep supporting some of the other
platforms, too, as long as there is a user base out there.

Just my thoughts...
