Hear hear. It has already happened to one platform, and look how
abysmally inconsistent it has become for users. I for one do not want
to see every Tom, Dick and Harry throwing Cocoa around and doing it
badly (even if I do so myself ;-). Yes, that's probably elitist. I
offer no apology.

slowly than it could otherwise.
I don't see that as a particularly bad thing. I don't want to see my
platform of choice suddenly awash with apps written by people who
don't want to take the time to understand the whole picture. I'm
pretty sure such apps would be less likely to conform to the HIG, and
less likely to have been properly profiled for performance.
