It implies to people that *Windows is harder* but really it's just a third distinct thing to target.

Think about how many more contributions you could get if you multiply potential users by 10x.
-
Believe me, I've been down this path on several occasions. I've both done the extra work and not. And I've noticed no difference.
-
The only important difference is what you have time to do/maintain yourself. If someone contributes/maintains abstractions? fantastic.
-
linux/osx are "close enough" that you can often write code to support both without actually working directly on both systems. not windows.
-
They're not that close (see my other tweets today). You're leaning on work other people have already done to shim them.
-
And one small project supporting Windows won't improve contribution much. But if an entire ecosystem does it helps.
-
Typescript has tons of Windows contribs as does Angular. Both make Windows experience first class.
-
I'm not asking you to make a personal sacrifice. I'm saying if we all worked harder to support Windows we'd be paid back and then some.
