Why Wine developers have focused on fixing bugs in games and applications which are available for Linux? I do no get it.

They arent.
As you report bug, the bug gets id number. Wine database has over 30000 reported bugs. Some reports are abandon, no status update for years. Then suddenly someone tries the game with recent wine and it works --> marked fixed in new wine changelog.
They aren't actually fixing the bugs that you see in changelog.

I do no get it.Some folks (e.g., Joel Spolsky thinks that you must not write new code until you have unfixed bugs. It is hard and it is not the case with Wine development. But hey, do you keep a bug in a code you work on just because it is used in rare cases you can use native programs for GNU/Linux?

any news on the CMST patch front?
Much part of csmt code its added on wine recent versions (this situation have described for stefan dosinger) but all work not integrated for now, crossover seem have it
But at this time, wine 1.8 stay more closer and CSMT has mentionated for wine 1.8 release criteria
Something more, CSMT results can vary depend game, in ones give more performance in others its equal, in others is worst or in others give graphic bugs
On my channel have some csmt test if you need

Also other channels as xpander also have csmt results

For example, I do not think that is a bug in Wine:
"Ankh 2: Heart of Osiris fails to start"
This game is available for Linux and Mac OS X.
Moreover, I strongly believe that Wine should inform their users about availability of the games that are available for Linux and Mac OS X.
In my view, users should not rely on Windows applications, if they do not have to use them. Why WIne developers do not care about native applications for Linux and Mac OS X?
