If it is an open source project then that is quite alright with me. An open source author doesn't need to support all platforms. Only those they care about. If someone else wants support for another platform they have the source.

Yeah, I think I did miss mentioning that my comment was more weighted on simpler cli tools or library projects (file format readers,etc).

I don't expect anyone writing GUI tools or more high-perf servers to spend their time porting to other platforms (trying to compile GTK on Windows wasn't for the faint of heart).
