I'm not thinking about it at all. I'd rather write the best applications on the best platform using the best framework available in the shortest possible time. That's a winning economic argument to me, *and* it means I don't have to deal with crap like C++.

This is exactly my own thoughts. Practicality occasionally forces principle to bend a little, but I try to remain pure. :)

I just wish Apple would, too. A lot of their stuff, once you get underneath the ObjC wrapper (if they've even got one; lots of newer API's are coming out as vanilla C), is a C++ world, full of abstract and opaque class's, mazes of typedef's and all sorts of other C++ annoyances. It'd be interesting to see whether any of Apple's own apps are actually untainted. It doesn't set a very good example, aside from the practical problems.
