All true, but keep in mind that it's very hard to fix things if they
continually get broken by developers who don't use non-Linux systems,
and don't care for those who do.  Taking GNU extensions to various
utilities for granted is one such example.

Because of this, I sometimes wonder if Gnome will ever work reliably
on a non-Linux OS.


(Take this as musing rather than a criticism; I am mostly a lurker
here, and am not involved in the actual development.)
