    It gives me more opportunities to look at problems that are not
    specific to some platform.

Sure, but it also consumes some of your time on Windows support issues.
If you simply did your editing on the GNU/Linux machine, and did not
pay attention to Windows support, would your contributions to
the platform-independent capabilities of Emacs be less, or more?
