I guess is depends on the reason you do it. If it is just to produce a
technically good program then obviously there is no question to the
logic.
However if the reason is to get Netsurf used on the maximum number of
desktops, then it is not so clear.
You have a pretty captive audience on RISC OS, most people who want to
browse would use it. (And to be honest, I prefer the RISC OS version
of Netsurf to any other browser for the sites it works with)
But for other platforms what is the situation? I have it installed on
Linux Mint, and usually use firefox instead. Do you have statistics
for the use of Netsurf?
Obviously if the RISC OS use is only a tiny proportion of total use,
then obviously your logic is still sound.
