Most of this thread, if not all, has NOT been about people failing

I did not mention the HIG on purpose. Although I suggest reading it,
consistency goes far beyond conforming your UI to the HIG. Working
with Cocoa rather than trying to force it to use design patterns and
philosophies from other languages and platforms will very often, as
a side effect, make your application non-standard in subtle but
potentially frustrating ways for your user. Of course, until you
have the "big picture", it's hard to see how that could be true but,
trust me, it is.
Maybe. Can you give some examples?
