It's our smiling faces, no doubt.

Many. The wxPython mail list (see www.wxpython.org) has _many_ winduhs
developers, and so does the NumPy/SciPy/MatPlotLib group. There are
PostgreSQL and SQLite developers who are writing for Microsoft's OSes, too.
I believe that both LyX (typesetting) and GRASS (spatial analyses) have
winduhs ports that do not require cygwin. But, since I don't use any of
those in that environment I may well be mistaken.
