I won't respond each of you one by one but here are a couple of
observations.
Metal is not a cross platform technology hence why so many projects still
rely on OpenGL in macOS (eg: Firefox).
I don't understand those "the writing was in the wall" type of comments.
Even if you think something was obvious all along the indisputable truth is
we only have guesses and rumors. It's mind blowing that anyone making
business decisions would be ok with this uncertainty.
If someone can afford days/weeks to do watch WWDC sessions consistently
every year it's great. That's not a luxury all of us can afford and it's
ridiculous to think this should be a requirement.
Some will argue "just jump on SwiftUI". Well a) SwiftUI is not mature and
b) best case scenario it will take 2-3 years before it has support for more
than 60-70% of macOS users. In certain industries (such as audio) the
majority of users will not update past Mojave for many years because that
would imply letting go of expensive hardware.
Anyway, I won't be annoying you anymore with what I believe are valid
concerns. It's time for me to leave this mailing list.
I wish you all the best.
