They already told you they're a small team, with mostly windows users and AIR allowed them to offer a cross platform solution. This is a polite way of saying "you're an outlier, you're not our target user, please go away and stop bothering us".
Alex's point is that they should have built a native windows app in that case. Even on Windows, AIR apps kinda suck.
It all comes down to the oft-rehashed point from 37signals: build half a product, not a half-assed product.
AIR always feels half-assed. It's slow, resource-intensive, doesn't look like the other apps, and generally gives a slightly uncomfortable feeling.

- powdahound 16y agoYou should try our app. AIR is kind of crappy by default but we've put a lot of work into making it feel native. Lots of people love it: http://twitter.com/#!/mtamizi/status/24547982921703424 http://twitter.com/#!/mtamizi/status/24547982921703424 http://twitter.com/#!/ochekurishvili/status/22690462684 http://twitter.com/#!/ochekurishvili/status/22690462684 http://twitter.com/#!/pradeep24/status/24582785423384576 http://twitter.com/#!/pradeep24/status/24582785423384576
