I've mentioned in the past that I want to use EFL as a cross platform development system, so that I don't have to "worry about things other than Linux". So yes, I could be considered a "user" of EFL on Mac and Windows, even though I try to avoid actually using Mac and Windows. So Rasters chicken and egg problem meets my chicken and egg problem. I don't mind being a three headed chicken, so long as someone else looks after the egg side of things.
