Exactly :-). There seem to be a lack of multi-platform knowledge. 
That anything different is somehow wrong and must be adjusted. 
There are thousands upon thousands of FLOSS software that use LF, 
good luck converting all of that. Nay, it is the developers who 
need to open their eyes a bit wider and take in the world beyond 
Win32. Even a moderate amount of cross-platform knowledge will go 
a long way. Even if you don't care about the Linux market, there 
is still the Mac OS X market.
