To be fair, Linux users aren't really completely left behind, there's the web interface (play.spotify.com).

I'd be interested to know how many people use native app vs. web interface. The web interface is not always as snappy as the native apps, but if it bogs down I can just kill the tab and launch it again.

1. I hate web apps for things that run the the background, Music is one of the things that needs a Tray Apps. 2. If it "bogs down" I can kill it by my dropdown terminal and killall, probally much faster than killing the tab

I do not spend all of my time in a browser, so I want a native app.
