64-bit support first arrived in Leopard in 2007. Everyone has had plenty of time.

  That's what I don't understand about this. He's using 32-bit deprecation as one of his main reasons for dropping macOS support, yet his decision to exclusively use the older architecture arguably makes the user experience worse. Of course they would like new features, but a modern 64-bit foundation should not be out of the question. It's almost like Microsoft has incentivized this by supporting the older architecture. I know that probably isn't the case, but it seems like this developer should modernize his program. Edit: take my words with a grain of salt-- I'm not an experienced developer.

  Also, there was only ever one set of macs released in 2006 which had a 32-bit Intel processor, as the transition to 64-bit happened only a year after the Intel transition. We're not merely long past the point where you have no excuse for not supporting 64-bit; we're long past where it made any sense to support 32-bit. Even in 2010 if you started a port to macOS and decided to target 32-bit you would be making a bad decision.
