I have cars made in Germany, Japan, and Detroit. They each go to a mechanic familiar with such cars. It would be futile to ask for in depth service at the wrong shop. Devs are smart enough to know their limits as a business, but as enthusiasts, are free to experiment. U-he being a great example, designing new hardware, and creating cross-platform ports, with hopefully enough financial rewards to offset some of the costs.That said, I’ve been buying some Windows apps lately, with the intention of trying to use them on Linux with WINE, and it has been as painful as getting teeth pulled trying to get a straight answer out of some of these developers. In some cases, I’ve not been completely confident that they have been entirely forthcoming—giving only the vaguest of answers. Granted, there are some developers that have been fantastic. Those are the ones I feel I can trust.
Your dilligent reporting indicates great improvements will soon hit the wine vineyard, and I'm looking forward to learning the ins and outs as they come into distros.
Cheers
