Best for the users who have multi-platform needs and, ultimately, for  
the developers if the personalities, work styles, and business  
arrangements were harmonious.

I've been the only programmer on a project and I find that, when  
working with a compatible team, the quality and amount of delivered  
product goes up exponentially and the stress goes down.  Nothing like  
a fresh pair of eyes (or even just ears) on a tough piece of design  
or code.
