Don't use them then? Seems like a useful feature to me for certain utility apps that don't require a proper Mac app/can't afford to develop one.
- whywhywhywhy 6y agoThe Mac that I originally grew to love did not represent that lame compromise you're describing. It's strength and beauty was in the apps tailored entirely to the platform, not cheap tacky ports because the developer couldn't be bothered.

Instead of continued investing in their high quality Mac app, companies will just drop it on the ground and spend all their time working on their toy iPad/iPhone apps, expecting people to switch.
- messe 6y agoI think that's the real purpose of Apple introducing catalyst way before this announcement. To make it easier to enhance iPad apps to take full advantage of macOS.
