Using LF on Windows is really not difficult. Any text editor actually worth using supports both types of line endings - even Notepad has handled this correctly for years now, from what I remember. I've never been caused any inconvenience as a Windows user by files with LF endings. I never use CRLF if I can avoid it; I only will if working on a codebase that already uses it throughout.
