Don't get me wrong I still think it is perfectly valid that wine is doing that sort of hack to get existing windows applications working but you really shouldn't advertise it as a solution to platform independence and encourage developers to go this way.
If someone plans to do a new multi-platform project, I'm pretty sure no one in their right mind would suggest wine to do it. But there is a whole lot of legacy applications for which the only economically feasible way to port them to linux might be via wine.
Agreed. This sums up quite well what I wanted to say ;)
