If I develop using C++ in Linux, then my software will not run on Windows. Hence, I loose 99.999% of my market. The other option is to spend double the development time to code for both systems. Of course, my rate of return will not be double.
So no, I'm sorry, there is no way that I'm developing user applications for Linux or UNIX at this time. End of discussion.
Some food for thought: How many of my restaurant point-of-sale systems do you think will I sell if the application requires Linux to run? None. I'd bet all of them would want to be able to run Microsoft Office on the same computer.
