Yeah, that false dichotomy has always bugged me. Even if you
limit it to developers ("why waste your time coding for Wine
when you could be writing native Linux audio apps/games/whatever

totally different job that takes a totally different mindset
than something like Bristol or LASH.

One thing that bothers me though, is why are
Linux peeps
playing with M$ apps instead of funneling that energy
towards replacements in native Linux?
maybe because trying out some cool windows
apps with the new
WINE/ASIO support takes a few hours whereas writing
replacements or improved inspirations from such apps takes a
few years and requires a skillset that doesn't necessarily
overlap with testing and analysis?
