I'm not exactly sure why developers would want this either. Windows
developers already had Visual Studio, which they apparently love, and
GNU/Linux developers will continue using GNU/Linux, where all the
development software anyone could dream of is free and open source.
Developers, more even than regular users, want a complete solution, not
some half-baked attempt at GNU in a Microsoft environment. They will
either go for 100% Microsoft in the Windows + Visual Studio, or they
will develop for GNU/Linux. Cross-platform developers will continue
doing what they have always done, which means running multiple OS's and
building for each one individually. I guess maybe people building
Rockbox who have used GNU/Linux to build it for years will possibly be
able to fully build it in a Windows environment without Cygwin, but
what's the point, especially when they've already been using GNU/Linux
for years to do that?
