>> Apple has absolutely zero need to deliver a cross-OS-platform Totally agreed. The issue isn't Apple vs Microsoft, it's iOS vs macOS.
>> If you're so absolutely set on cross-platform, leave the cross-platform work to those who do that We had a good 30-year run selling on both Mac & Windows: first with Excel, then HyperCard/Toolbook, then C++. But it keeps getting harder. A great cross-platform development tool would sure be nice, but we gave up on that hope many years ago. Microsoft's .Net is a way to run C# programs on other platforms. I don't think it ever got much traction outside of Windows. CocoTron is a way to run Objective-C programs on other platforms. Has anyone here used it? wxWidgets is still Carbon, with an incomplete Cocoa fork. Xojo is new to me, but it appears more a SwiftUI than a Cocoa substitute. QT is probably the most viable cross-platform tool, but steep learning curve and mediocre GUI. Will it survive if Cocoa is deprecated?
