An interesting discussion I came across today: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/08/why-is-it-so-hard-to-make-a-java-program-appear-native/
(and yes I realise OO doesn't use Java for it's UI, but the points raised apply to all cross-platform UI toolkits). Question: To what extent is the OO UI frontend code separate from the backend editing, file format handling, and rendering code? I'm thinking in particular here of mobile - which demands a completely different approach to user experience design than desktop. Could OO conceivably be adapted to mobile by replacing its UI? -- Dr. Peter M.
