UXKit Again

Macs have menus and multiple resizable (closable, minimizable) windows. Macs have configurable toolbars; Macs have mice. Macs let you drag-and-drop between apps. Mac apps are scriptable.

By the time you’ve unified all this into one framework, you’ve either done a disservice to one or both platforms (by removing or changing things that people expect from the platform), or you haven’t really gained anything, as the differences between the platforms still need to be expressed in the framework, and learning how to write Mac apps would still be roughly the same-sized job it is right now.

Very good points.
