Not true. : I don't know how usable Mac OS X is or not and frankly I don't care. Usability : is relative to the user. Well, I think the user is the all important person if you want to sell him/her your program. If you sell to a company there will still be people who have to provide input to the program, and react to the visual reactions of the program. What if they complain? : My point is why make three versions if you can : make and maintain one. Usually you can sell all three version and the feedback might be that the respective version fits better with the rest of the operating system than a Gtk interface (compare the GIMP's file open dialog to the native; does d&d work outside GNOME...) -- Georg
