I know that Mac users are very sensitive towards all cross-platform and non-native UI toolkits. I have always wondered why I haven't seen many complaints about the Adobe non-native UI on Mac. So, its interesting to hear that it does fe

This reminds me of Mischief (for Mac and PC) [1], which is incredibly fast vector drawing application. The way Mischief handles its details of graphics, speed and huge range of zoom is by using adaptively sampled distance fields (patented t
