Ok, how about instead move to Qt4 and let Trolltech take care of the
interface to whatever Apple deside to do? The designer could write his
c++ code and develop with designer and rest assured that the
application would run on most major platforms? Maybe developers want
to work in C or Objective-C? I installed the GPL version of Qt4 on my
old PowerBook running Panther and found that things were running
neatly after some hours of compiling. The demo applications look
really appealing to me. I came to MacOSX from Linux and windows and
never realy liked the MacOS, but back then I didn't program.

I always found it tedious to develop Tcl/Tk on my mac as it was only
partly behaving like a real mac application, and since I have only
Panther, I will sooner or later fall behind on the newer versions of
the scripting languages. As an example, I have only access to java
1.4, the newer ones are not supported on Panther.

Is Apple really any better than Microsoft when it comes down to the bone?
