There is room for everyting in Linux. The beauty of this movement is that
everyone creates what they want, free of a demanding management. The
native software will be writen, and so will the emulators. There is no
reason to exclude one or the other... It's all good.
With Linux we use the 'sheer mass of developers' approach, rather then
the 'sheer mass of bloat' sort... If someone creates software you dont
want, then dont install it..
We all know that the people who make the best stuff, are the people who
are doing for the joy of doing it, so dont bother asking them to change
what they do.. If you're all for native versions, then get going! :)
