Various Windows IDEs (notably Delphi... and notepad :)) get confused by non-CRLF files and either do random things to the file, fail to compile, or "helpfully" change all the line endings back to CRLF. I agree that any program that does any such thing is braindead, but unfortunately, some people are stuck with such programs.
