Greetings and a question...

Hello all. I'm pretty new to Objective C and Cocoa, but I'm in love with
it. I never knew how bad C++ was until I got a taste of Cocoa.

However, I'm in the same boat as a lot of people here no doubt are: Love
Cocoa, have to develop things cross-platform. I'm sure this is a pretty
frequently asked question, but I couldn't find one devoted to this list,
so here goes: Whatever happened to Yellow Box for Windows and Linux?
Currently Cocoa isn't very compelling for anyone doing large-scale
commercial application design, since it won't do anything other than Mac
OS X. While I'm aware of GnuStep, it just isn't the same. Is Apple doing
something about this situation, or will Obj-C/Cocoa always be only good
if you're developing in-house tools or Mac-only software? Please say it
ain't so.

Cheers,
Vince
