Well, I just happened to read the welcome message:

I've found it really interesting. I'm still (not for long, hopefully
:-)  ) a university student and I am aware of the efforts that some

This is my opinion too. Making educational programs as more
platform-independent as possible should be a must. There are much more
benefits than drawbacks in this case.
