Not necessarily. You are assuming that all other interfaces are inferior to Macintosh interfaces. Depending on the application, there may have been a great deal of work in designing an interface specifica to a particular discipline. The layout may be a "standard" form required by law or other convention. I am not suggesting that one port the code, just the forms and menu labels. Once they are ported to a nib, they can be modified to better conform to Mac HI guidelines. But until there is an pathway to port applications at all, there is no incentive to even create the applications on a Mac.
