Hardly a limitation since Linux and other Unix based operating systems
account for a trivial percent of the desktop market. I would guess that
more regular people (NON FOSS developers) access Postgresql from a win32
Desktop not a Unix one.
When Linux gets above 20% it might make sense to make applications for
it, or if there was a thriving RAD IDE like Delphi. Mono is shaping up
and so is Lazarus, but
they are not there yet, and WXwidgets/Python etc is not productive at
all, and Java is slow.
By the way PGLA actually works OK with the latest version of WINE so it
can run on Linux, just not natively.

I like many people dual boot Linux and I can tell you I spend most of my
time in win32 because applications I need don't exist for Linux.
