Chances indeed, but given how a lot of software is written in crossplatform languages (Java, JS, Ruby, etc) or the underlying CPU hardware is abstracted away (most compiled languages), I like to think it doesn't really matter except in edge cases and / or libraries.

Wishful thinking though, probably.

I can abstract away the OS (mostly), but I can’t abstract away the ISA without paying a pretty hefty performance cost.
