Exactly. To be honest, *ONLY* the best open-source software runs on 
other platforms and that is usually because there is a strong demand for 
it. A certain Windows user has been exposed to something really great in 
GNU/Linux and then makes an effort to bring it into his operating system 
of choice. In GNU/Linux's ecosystem, every distribution makes it very 
easy to get a hold of ANY software produced for the operating system 
whether it is good or ridiculously awful. The result is that the 
ecosystem is overwhelmed by absolute shit and you often have to go 
through 7 or 8 really terrible programs before you find a half-decent 
one that actually does what you want.
