Personally, I'd rather have them focus on making the Windows version more reliable, though they probably don't have any need to cater to my desires, either.

ETA: Saying they should provide Linux support is, IMO, a totally separate statement from saying they should test their software in Wine under Linux and only release software that runs properly in that configuration.
