How about option d) Windows users have never experienced a decent image
viewer and don't know what they are missing ;-p

I still use that old port actually because there is nothing better, though
it has some pretty severe issues like visually corrupting one in ten images
I throw at it. I'd love to join the dev team and work on a port based off
something more recent, but my time is stretched too thin as it is.

I have just recalled, there is also GEGL (www.gegl.org) for the
"pipelined" editing of the images.
