Cross-platform consistency is the main one I can think of. Although
there are differences, the UI for thunderbird is largely consistent
across Linux, *BSD, Mac, and Windows. As a user of all of those
platforms, it makes my life a lot easier, and I suspect it makes life
easier for those supporting users on a wide variety of platforms.
