I'd argue the cross platform support is a bit moot at this point. With Windows 10 supporting a native Ubuntu vm, nobody has a reason not to have a bash terminal on their machine. Best practice from my experience has been to have a bash scripts folder and a set of npm commands to instantiate environments. I tend to WANT my codebases built separately, preferably through CI and and deployed to a container repo. Or even better, full serverless. The Serverless framework has some pretty fantastic offline support for testing, and it's a breeze to deploy from there (handles teardown as well). It's two commands instead of one, to do a docker compose and a serverless-offline startup, but it gives you a remarkable level of flexibility in your stack. Combine that with something like chakram for testing and you have some robust end to end tests in a repeatable environment.
So, at my day job, Windows 10 isn't supported yet. We've got people on Windows 7 and Windows 8, but the security and IT people have yet to officially roll out Windows 10 to anyone. And I know of other, bigger organisations where Windows 8 isn't even supported yet!
Just because the latest and greatest version of the OS supports these things doesn't mean everyone is using it. And if I can do things that make life easier for people in general, I don't see any reason not to.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
