How is this relevant, exactly? Ruby was written on and designed to run on *NIX OS's, as is most of the software commonly found in webapps, because it all runs on Linux servers. I'm sure it'd be a pain in the ass to get MS Paint to run on Debian, too.

MS paint on Linux is easy.I double click on paint.exe and it runs.

And I have WINE to thank for that layer of compatibility.

You realize it is that easy for you because it was a pain in the bottom for someone else, yes?
