Which is an improvement on being Windows only.

I think I'd go without the sarcasm style of criticism and just say:  for
a company trying to push Linux as a platform, Oracle sure do make
themselves look like a Windows based company.

I know Windows and OS X make up 90+% (ish) of all workstation and laptop
users, but I bet this is not true for developers.  And surely it is the
developers who are using JavaFX, not the end users.  Thus it is the
spread of OS use by developers that matters and I bet Linux represents a
significant market share in that audience.
