Number of places in Windows where forward slashes are not allowed is very small and should be considered buggy.\r\nCurrent situation makes writing platform independent code extremely complex, in many cases integration tests of projects created by Unix guys just don't work on Windows (and vice versa).\r\n\r\nFinally this separation brings more harm then good.\r\nIt would also fix https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/issues/616 - Path.relative would always return correct url separators.\r\n\r\nI am not that naive, that I would expect this will be fixed, because it would probably break too many (probably mainly Windows) projects. But I would like to know view of node community about this problem.\r\n"}}
