Yet another topic I need to pick your brain about, Nica! Curious specifically about the reasoning behind some developers "refusing to make their code Linux compatible" — is this most often due to a (real or perceived) concern about DX/intuitive development environments?
I think the short version is that there's very little incentive to compile software packages for every environment. Some of the packages that people rely on every day are maintained as small sidelines by their original developers with little or no financial support from anyone. If anyone else has a theory about why this happens, I'm all ears :)
