That's incorrect. You're confusing totally separate issues by examining specific pieces of software with product specific bugs. This isn't a valid way to examine the issue: by this metric, spaces aren't supported on unix because many programs choke on them.
In fact, you can use forward slashes across the entire file API on Windows. That's the point.

In that sense, forward slashes are in practice a second-class citizen on Windows. The canonical path syntax is and will remain with backslashes.
