I can't find the original mail which contained this, but I have to say
this would be a monstrous step backwards.
For me, cross-platform is the future for desktop apps. People want to be
able to run the application they want to run and not be constrained by
the OS they're running on. If I'm working at a client's site and all
they have is one OS, I want to be able to use the tools I'm comfortable
with regardless of my preferred OS.
That's why I use OO, Firefox, Gaim, jedit etc. OS is irrelevant and will
before long become a preference rather than being dictated by the
application you want to run.
Just my opinion. :)
