Convenience? I'm a programmer at heart, and believe me, I do occasionally
miss the many admittedly powerful tools that are available under linux.
But never yet have I felt the slightly bit compelled to choose to develop
under that platform.  I'm sorry, but I like my GUI's, and my single 
keystroke
compile and debug cycles, and not to having to worry about which version
of which package is compatible with another and why this scripting command
works here and not there.   And I'm quite obviously not the only one.
I'm more than willing to contribue towards lilypond development, but I doubt
I would bother if I had to do it in a linux environment.
