100% agreed. I might add, users don't need to be happy that it works on windows
at all: we claim it does, and it does, period.

However, we don't claim (AFAIK) that it looks and feels native. Eg, forward
slashes feel wrong to most windows users, but actually work.

IMO, it would be good to have TL feel as native as possible on windows, but the
priority is to make it work, and as Reinhard recalled, it's sometimes difficult.
