WINE Due to SierraChart's strict adherence to the WinAPI, it works flawlessly at native speeds on Linux and Mac. Instead of coding, compiling and maintaining several GUI frontends, and instead of gambling with third-party libraries, and instead of having to choose Linux OR Mac, why not just bundle wine? You could include it in the install, along with both a Linux and Mac executable shortcut, immediately making the software available to nearly every platform and every user. The only caveat is you'd have to continue your strict coding style without adding obscure libraries - but you will anyways! You have this unfair advantage, because your .NET competitors can't, and your software on mac and linux machines consumes 60mb of ram and 0-2% cpu, whereas similar featured Java software, 1gb+ of ram and 10x+ cpu.
