Speaking for myself I am a Unix coder and proud of it :-) I don't know
how many times I have said in my professional life "I don't do Windows".
That's why I chose to make my major contribution to the project the
porting of initdb to C - it had to be done (and it took me quite a few
hours) but it didn't require a deep level of understanding of Windows.
OTOH there is clearly a deeper level of understanding and experience
around than I have.
I think the answer is a mixture.
