      For what it's worth, "I think windows is objectively terrible" isn't a good explanation for not wanting to support 1/2 of all existing devs and a bigger proportion of not-yet-developers. It's also not true, but that's a topic for another discussion.

      Unless you're a project run by vounteers and don't want to spend the effort. You owe nothing to anyone. Of course, if you *want* people to like...actually use your project, well yeah you need to. :) But I don't think platform shaming folks is helpful (in either direction).

      I think the solution is making sure that the abstractions people use actually work across platforms. The only "education" campaign is to help people realize that they should use the abstractions, and that stuff like "did you know that / actually works on Windows" isn't true.

          I don't mean to shame anyone, because I don't think that the reason things usually don't work on Windows is any one person's fault, nor will it be solved by individual people doubling their workload. But as a wider community, people building general purpose tools can do better.

          Totally agreed. I am glad to see more and more people taking cross-platform seriously these days. I really think it's improving everyone's lives. It just needs to move faster! ;)

          They don’t have to. They often don’t get paid for it. They often would have more of a life if they didn’t have users. You chose your poison.

          People using bash scripting (e.g. npm scripts) are a much bigger problem than /. / is ok

          Yeah, I meant to mention that but forgot once the tweet storm got rolling. One of the biggest fixes node could do is making npm scripts use something like shelljs under the hood (perhaps with an opt-in for packages).

          It’s going to be hard having common, non-litigous abstractions as long as we have multi-million lawsuits over 10 Java API calls ala Oracle vs. Google over Android using said APIs. To support natively Windows ...
