+1 In many engineering/industrial/technical contexts, especially in big corporations, a Windows workstation is still the default setup, OSX is non-existent, and Linux/Unix is relegated to HPC and clusters. This is not going to change substantially in the short term. I think there is also a code-quality rationale for having strong multi-platform and multi-architecture support. Software is a bit like a lifeform, living in and adapting to different environments makes it stronger and more resilient.
