The prevalence of MDI interfaces on Windows is one of the primary
reasons I stick with the Mac, both as a user and as a developer.
That is, it's not just that I prefer to use the Mac-standard user
interface myself, but I also don't want to have to subject my users to
user interfaces that I wouldn't willingly use myself.
I've been a software engineer for twenty-one years, the majority of
those spent coding for the Mac. And I can tell you - and you can quote
me - that just about the best way for a Mac product to achieve poor
reviews in the trade press is to make it look and act just like a
Windows program.
Look up the Macintosh User Interface guidelines at
http://developer.apple.com/ and send the link to your coworkers.
Emphasize the importance of a native look and feel.
