While there is a need for a Windows based tool to achieve this purpose,
and also for a Linux or Mac OS X based tool, there's little reason I can
see for the tool to be cross-platform except to reduce development
effort.  It's up to the tool developer to make that decision.  I'm glad
there exist developers who choose not to make everything cross-platform,
as it allows them to optimise for their chosen platform.  I do the same;
most of my code doesn't run on anything bar Linux.  ;-)
