Not necessarily. You are assuming that all other interfaces are
inferior to Macintosh interfaces. Depending on the application, there
may have been a great deal of work in designing an interface specifica
to a particular discipline. The layout may be a "standard" form
required by law or other convention. I am not suggesting that one port
the code, just the forms and menu labels. Once they are ported to a
nib, they can be modified to better conform to Mac HI guidelines.
But until there is an pathway to port applications at all, there
is no incentive to even create the applications on a Mac.
