Interesting and valid point. Myopia tends to increase in direct proportion to success. In the US we often fail to think beyond our borders. The same is even more true of Silicon Valley, New York or other provincial (though highly successful) villages.
*nix supremecists should check their attitudes at the door. i've been working in linux since '94 (*nix since '87) and have seen no evidence of a superior breed of programmers. i'd wager that the ratio of good to bad is about equal across the board.
It will take quite a while before EF will begin to run full applications (at least reliably). In the meantime, TYA is an excellent JIT front-end to Sun's JVM. It gives quite a performance boost on Linux w/ JDK/JRE 1.17.
