I think it is silly to conclude that because the majority of your visitors use Windows, therefore you will just develop a Windows-only client based on .NET. There are good applications being developed for Twitter using AIR, such as TweetDeck.

1) Have you read any of the alternate discussions on this topic? Or the other blog post? There are many more reasons for our choice.
2) 'you will just develop a Windows-only client'. Saying 'just' is a bit demeaning to our efforts, Lola. What we're doing isn't all *that* simple.
3) 'There are good applications being developed for Twitter using AIR...' My argument wasn't that there aren't any good applications written using Adobe AIR.
I'm not going to go into all the reasons I *already* listed in numerous plurks, posts, or comments (again, have you read them?). I will say, though, that ultimately, it's the team's decision for what we should build this in. And we've decided to use WPF for Windows client, and Cocoa for the Mac client.

Also, all three of us are Mac users. We're keeping you in mind ;)

I don't have a single machine that isn't running Linux. Totally bummed about this.

:( Once we release the API, I'm sure you'll see a client on the way *crosses fingers*
