I'm not defending it. I'm arguing as a professional user of RCSs who has to live in a reality that happens to contain machines running windows. Part of the job of an RCS is to enable cooperation in a team. An RCS that doesn't run on windows cannot perform that job (in my environment), and thereby disqualifies itself as a useful tool. This is not a political argument, it's being pragmatic.
