>> Apple has absolutely zero need to deliver a cross-OS-platform
Totally agreed. The issue isn't Apple vs Microsoft, it's iOS vs macOS.
>> If you're so absolutely set on cross-platform, leave the cross-platform
work to those who do that
We had a good 30-year run selling on both Mac & Windows: first with Excel,
then HyperCard/Toolbook, then C++.
But it keeps getting harder.
A great cross-platform development tool would sure be nice, but we gave up
on that hope many years ago.
Microsoft's .Net is a way to run C# programs on other platforms. I don't
think it ever got much traction outside of Windows.
CocoTron is a way to run Objective-C programs on other platforms. Has
anyone here used it?
wxWidgets is still Carbon, with an incomplete Cocoa fork.
Xojo is new to me, but it appears more a SwiftUI than a Cocoa substitute.
QT is probably the most viable cross-platform tool, but steep learning
curve and mediocre GUI. Will it survive if Cocoa is deprecated?
