I run Windows98SE just because i get used to it more than to KDE
I work with Borland's C++Builder just because i am very familiar with
its IDE (you know all the hints, warnings, tracing the code , step in ,
step over, help system, navigating code with bookmarks and Ctrl-hyperlinks etc etc )
and i like it since Turpo Pascal appeared.

Why then do not make even more eyes to see ?

Here are two different things:
1) spending your valuable time
2) requiring the use of a POSIX
The first is up to you to decide but the second is questionable
