To not see a problem with this not being Cocoa is to miss what's good about Mac OS X in comparison to Linux and other unixes.

My dictionary says this for perverse:
- Showing a deliberate and obstinate desire to behave in a way that is unreasonable or unacceptable, often in spite of the consequences.
- Contrary to the accepted or expected standard or practice.
- chc 15y agoI do see the problem with it not being Cocoa. The thing is, I also see a problem with throwing out huge swaths of your existing, mature codebase to make a minor project superficially nicer. They're both real problems, and which matters more to you depends on how strongly you adhere to the philosophy that "real artists ship." When the iPhone came out, it didn't have cut and paste or any third-party apps. When OS X came out, it didn't even have DVD playback or CD burning and it was agonizingly slow. All of those decisions were far more "perverse" than leveraging an existing codebase to bring a new product to market. OS X as it exists today is the product of countless iterations on the promising-but-lousy OS X 10.0. To miss that fact is quite literally to miss what made OS X so great.
