I think platform nonspecificity is important from a strategic standpoint. If your software can "live" anywhere, its chances of long-term survival are better than if it is the software equivalent of a panda. Coding in platform nonspecific languages does not limit future options in the same way that coding in a language that only runs on, say, AS/400 would. Buying this agility and flexibility may cost you some runtime efficiency, but I think the general opinion is that this is a good trade in the long term.
