It's more like: on a scale of 1 to 5 of being able to work on LilyPond
without major hassles, you can use one of the following:
current Ubuntu 5
Virtual environment LilyDev on Windows, MacOSX, other 4
Most other GNU/Linux distributions 4.5
FreeBSD 3.5
Native MacOSX 2
Native Windows 0

That's wrong. Every developer I know uses it. The "hardly anyone"
applies to lily-git.tcl, quite a different beast.

No, it isn't. lily-git.tcl is. But lily-git.tcl does not do the issue
management (at least not that I know of, never having used it), but
rather organizes your git repo and caters for pushing eventually.
