Is my target application going to run on Linux? If so, then I do not care about Windows or MacOS, just like I do not care about CBM64 or Amiga.

My goal is not to write an awesome system that wins design awards in handling of obscure edge cases thrown at it in a coffee shop by hipster developers. My goal is to build a system that solves my business problem.
