I wonder how many applications are NOT coming to Mac OSX platform
because EOF isn't available?
By leveraging EOF, small shops of 1 -3 people can put out some
compelling applications. I think Apple is hurting itself and the
platform by not providing this great technology. Hell, it's sitting
there on the shelf collecting dust. Make it open-source if they're not
going to let us have it. Please!
I have 3 apps in mind which would leverage EOF, but I don't have time
to build them any other way. So, they're not going to get built.
How many others out there thought EOF/ObjC was going to be part of
their toolset?
