I'm not saying the UNIX philosophy is the "best" way, I'm just stating why it's valuable. Of course most people don't care about those things, but as a developer, the main issue I see with Windows and macOS, is that they build specialized interfaces that lock you into certain ways of doing things, which may be convenient, but are difficult to migrate away from, and a pain to automate and reproduce. I really value that the UNIX philosophy is geared more towards building simple tools that are designed to be combined with other simple tools to solve a more complex problem, and that it doesn't try to lock you into using any particular tool to solve a problem. So no, I may not provide binaries for Windows & Mac for personal projects, but I'm not going to be openly hostile towards people who want to build things from source or contribute fixes for Windows & macOS. |
