Well he reads this list, I understand and frankly while our company
is well connected in the Microsoft space (we get our own engineering
buddy there and a few other really nice indulgences), we are nobody
to Apple. I'd like to think our OS X only developments that we're
looking at doing would become big and successful, but unless we can
show Apple that we can bring in a few million new users I don't think
they care if we use Carbon, Cocoa, or never write a Mac app in the end.
To be fair, MS treated us similarly until they realized that our
company alone drove a large percentage of new users from Palm.

I suppose. Just FYI the reason I posted this is simply that its a
more solid confirmation of the insinuations I've seen on this list
for Carbon. Right now I'm personally trying to evaluate a few
projects we're trying to do and Carbon was my choice framework. As
I wrote before I *like* Cocoa and the ideas behind Obj-C, but I
just can't seem to work within Obj-C. It just does not feel right.
Since I don't have anyone over me to decide for me, I have to do
so myself and I'm on the fence of what to do in our efforts. For
me development is fun. I enjoy it. I do it because I enjoy it and
I don't enjoy Obj-C. So this entire discussion for me is pertinent
as a way to help decide what I'm going to do.
You've really got to write that letter to Deric Horn. What's going
on over at central right now is iPhone and Safari Windows browser
share.

HITheme APIs to stick around? I mean, is that what they're saying?
