He mentions three apps: Pidgin, Scribus, and Movable Type. All three
are cross-platform.
Cross-platform development is starting to be recognized as best practice
for FLOSS. We will see Linux-only desktop and mobile apps either die,
stagnate, or adapt so as to permit practical usage on Mac, Windows, and
Linux.
