About as hard as it would be to file a bug report reminding them to
do so ... ;-)

I had a similar discussion with a client who simply couldn't see why
- if Cocoa is so modern and powerful - it would be so hard to add
Adobe Illustrator-like functionality to an application that already
draws graphs. I mean, the lines are already there, right? Why can't
you drag them with a mouse and modify them?
I had to explain that Cocoa provides you with the basic building
blocks to make all kinds of different apps. Those blocks are very
powerful and flexible. It's up to you to put them together into
something useful. The more specific you get with a set of
cemented-together blocks, the less flexible that set is, therefore it
is less "generally useful" to all programmers.
If Apple were to invest time into making such a framework, they'd be
best to use it in their own apps ... like Pages and Numbers. ;-)
That's not to say something basic and general won't be released in
the future but it's not here now and if/when it *does* arrive, most
people will complain that it's very too basic and general for their
purposes.
