That transition was greatly assisted by the huge performance difference between Intel and PowerPC especially for the laptop chips that most users were using. It took developers a long time to have stuff fully ported, but it wasn't a huge deal - if you switch to a chip that's twice as fast and take a 50% hit on the emulation layer, you haven't lost much. I'm very curious to see stuff that isn't first- or second-party already-natively-recompiled stuff works. There's a lot of quality-of-life Mac native apps that I like, that aren't backed by a bunch of dev resources.
