If I do some bits in Windows (which I occasionally do when don't have my Linux machine at hand) I would usually use some IDE (Eclipse, M$) and both handle LF very well and I dare say there are enough good tools to edit source code in Win to handle LF well that it should not be an issue.
Actually... M$'s tools don't really handle LF endings well.
It opens them fine, but tends to add CR-LF endings at odd spots, and it is not uncommon to end up with files with mixed line endings. I've seen this time and again.
Well, I am not surprised then. Seems like I've been lucky enough not to have come across this problem before, but then again it was not often that I did *ux development on Win. Still I am pretty sure that VS05 and VS08 now support LF /even if in a somewhat buggy way ;-) /
