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.

Sure but those shims are baked into the platform. POSIX required shims

OS largely. Patched over in some cases further up the stack.

This is just not true. POSIX is missing huge amounts of key functionality like modern select, description of compiler/linker, etc.
