Well despite everything, this talk about making your own ui so so
different than it was in January. Back then every developer would
scream at you if you wanted to make anything but using the prefab IB
widgets
You should strive to always use the standard Cocoa widgets whenever
possible. For my needs, I really needed a different UI (kids
software running in a kiosk mode; i.e. large colorful buttons, no
menus, etc.)
Having said that, I believe there are really two issues here when
wanting your own UI.
First, there's the appearance of the widgets. Some folks simply want
to skin things. For that, you again should just use the standard
look-and-feel.
The second one is how the widgets actually work. It's often the case
where the standard collection doesn't quite fit the bill. But,
definitely file bug reports on what controls you need. Apple has,
over time, added a decent amount of new widgets to Cocoa's palette.
