I was making the reverse point: SQLite provides an excellent experience on Linux, OS X and Windows, and has consistently done so for as long as I can remember. It is, as far as I'm concerned, the perfect counterexample to joelthelion's argument.
Err, the point is that you can have Win32 ports without becoming "bloated and buggy."
I run Apache on Win32 all the time. Is that bloated and buggy? As well as php (well, no worse than on linux) and mysql. Postgres runs on windows as well. Then of course we have crossplatform darlings like Firefox, Libreoffice, etc.
