It would make little sense to lock down a hardware platform, limiting your user base.

There's no reason to blindly poke. Allow me to clear things up. First, there aren't many mechanics that used to be brain surgeons. After decades (yes, I'm moving to plural in a couple of years) of developing for a platform using a tool, you never get the same proficiency again, lest I screw up my health again. Careers don't grow on trees.

Also, I see little reason to go "different" as long as my native platform is an option. Heck, if it's so fun and easy to just switch, come on over.

Throwing it up there that getting me out of my hole is going to make me wet myself is little more than flamebait.

A thanked post nonetheless.
