Does it matter? The closer they get to being indistinguishable from Windows, the better.

The problem is, Windows syscalls change around a lot. Keeping up with that is Sisyphean.

Wine, from the first moment I saw it decades ago, seems to be all about doing the sisyphean tasks no one else wants to be doing. I'm still in awe how they managed to get Wine to where it is today, so if someone can do it, it's the wine devs :)
