But Emacs does not work better under Windows (or macOS) than under GNU/Linux. E.g. we explicitly disabled support for colored fonts on macOS until we had support for that under GNU/Linux. So a comparable situation would be for a mode that works both with Matlab and Octave but doesn't provide any feature which only works with Matlab. Stefan
