One of the advantages of WO / Java is that it is cross platform.
Now, moving to Eclipse based tools, it is more cross platform than
it was looking recently. Tying it to Cocoa technologies would be
a step backward as a web platform. That said, I would love to see
EOF back in Obj-C for Cocoa applications!
I've heard this argument before, but I have a hard time
understanding how tying into Cocoa technologies would be a step
backwards as a web platform? After all, the platform that the
server software runs on doesn't dictate the client platform. Is it
a deployment advantage? Development advantage? I've never really
understood this.
Requiring deployment on OS X is a deal breaker for many places. WO
does not have that huge of a market share to begin with, why cripple it?
