Yes, the single active Windows dev is sure neglecting the platform while upgrading it to DX11 and doing a ton of other stuff for it.
Go fuck yourself.

Instead of telling me to fuck myself you should've looked around this thread to see how an independent dev was treated when trying to improve Windows platform. He did state he didn't have any more time for it but you'd be naïve to think his mistreatment by Team-Kodi didn't play a role in it.

DX11 SDK has been available since early 2012. We're almost in 2016 and Kodi DX11 build is still labeled as "test" in download page. By "test" I infer experimental phase. It's a lot of stuff for one guy to handle, sure. On the other hand when other Team-Kodi members speak of Windows commitment they really come across as if they didn't care much for the platform. Seriously, just look a few posts back. Ironic since the whole reason Kodi (and Plex and MediaPortal while we're at it) exists in the first place is Microsoft hardware.

The problem is, I'm gamer. Gaming is better on Windows, period. Even outside of native PC releases, Windows is the platform with the most emulators unique to it. And, if I want to run games directly from HTPC instead of streaming, using Windows means I don't have to deal with Wine.

I have yet to find a platform which allows me to do it all. It's possible Steam BPM will be it (right now it isn't because it's too focused on gaming), but, from looking at it, Kodi isn't it. Most skins don't fully support Advanced Launcher and RCB and it'll remain that way until RetroPlayer becomes public.
