Seek professional help, immediately! You may think I'm over-reacting, but it's best to address these kind of masochistic tendencies early, before you do serious harm to yourself.

I'm continually surprised at how Mac users embrace platform dependent
code. I would have thought we would be the first to push for cross
platform and open programs.

Platform dependent? If this were carbon-dev, I'd understand - that's a Mac-only API - but we're talking about Cocoa here. If you want to port your Cocoa code to another UNIX platform, or even (if you must) to Windows, go take a look at GNUStep. If your app depends on some part of the API that hasn't yet been completed in GNUStep, don't just give up on it and use Qt - step up and contribute!

The highest sounds are hardest to hear.
Going forward is a way to retreat.
Great talent shows itself late in life.
Even a perfect program still has bugs.
