One minor problem (which may or may not matter to anyone) is that a
GUI program doesn't have access to any initial console. At least we've
never found out how to make it get at it - if anyone knows how, *please*
let me know! Thus, you have to create a new console window, which isn't
much different from creating some other GUI window. We'd love it if
GetStdHandle(STD_ERROR_HANDLE) got you the console you started the
GUI program from!

Well, UNIX has been around quite a bit longer, so has a bigger pool of
stuff that people try to port. A lot of the Windows software is
commercial, or deeply entwined with the Windows way of doing things.
(Just me guessing here, of course!)

Don't design inefficiency in - it'll happen in the implementation.
