These days, supporting various flavours of Linux appears to be a must for most of the software products, including development tools for microcontrollers.

If, hypothetically, you'd decide on developing a new such tool, would you mandate Linux support?

What if that would mean a risk that the user experience to be decreased, e.g. the result would be visually less perfect or slower in execution, than if it would be dedicated to Windows only?

I would like to hear your opinions.

Thanks,
