That's like saying well I'm not going to get very far running a Playstation 4 game on my Super Nintendo. You can't count software that isn't even supported on a system. Yes, DropBox has a client for many systems, but saying DropBox is better because iCloud doesn't even exist on Linux make no sense.

makes sense for me. I don't use iCloud because of that. It doesn't have the features that I need. Although "Better" is subjective. Dropbox might not be better for you, but it "makes sense" for some people

It's actually a good reason to pick DropBox over iCloud if you are running multiple OSes. So, it does make it better in a way.

Well it does make sense if he says Dropbox is just as good as iCloud on Mac and even supports other platforms. Thus it's better if you aren't only using Mac.
