So the question is, how important is portability? I like Cocoa. I REALLY
like Obj-C. I love the Mac platform. I love the free software. Yeah,
portability is a bitch, but one has to consider HOW and WHY we got Cocoa
to begin with. Those who do not learn from History are doomed to repeat
it. I personally think Jobs learned from NeXT.
AFAIK Steve Jobs is addicted to hardware. He likes nice boxes (iMac, iBook,
NeXTCube, original Mac) and likes to design computer producing factories.
So I think he was pretty unhappy with NeXT going Software-only.
I think as long as Apple is doing well and Steve Jobs is the CEO, it just
won't happen.
No, I don't know him personally, I just read a book about him.
