Everyone has their own OS preference, and I certainly don't begrudge
Kevin or Ben for anything they feel they can be most productive with.
Just the same, I think it would be an eye-opening experience if Ben
were to take just one week each year and do all of his LiveCode work
on Ubuntu.
I suspect a hundred paper cuts would get addressed post haste if he
had first-hand experience with them.
As far as I remember, about 4 years ago, when I visited the RunRev
place, ALL their machines were Macintoshes.
Now that is pretty dangerous.
Reminds me of a farmer who kept ducks as well as hens;
so when the hens all dies he still had eggs for his breakfast.
How one can produce a cross-platform product without doing parallel
development on machines running all the systems one aims/claims to
support escapes me.
Having said that . . . I produce my Devawriter Pro for both Mac and
Windows . . . largely on a Mac; however, prior to each release I do "pop
over" to Windows and test the thing out.

systems should skip this or tune out completely --
THAT REMINDS ME . . .
When is RunRev going to sort out the thing where Windows Vista, 7, 8 and
counting substitute fonts in Unicode Text fields in Livecode standalones
so there is a horrible mismatch between substituted charatcers and those
supplied by a custom unicode font that leverages the Pravte Use Area in
the Unicode system?
Nothing visible on the horizon.

Aaah, that feels better (even if it hasn't been solved) having got it
off my chest.
