Actuallly there are. They are mainly bugs I guess. There are quite a few pieces of eclipse software that dont run on the mac. I have personally been frustrated a number of times. SWT is not generic java, but code that runs natively on each individual platform to provide the platform specific UI feature set. But the generic circumstances are irrelevant actually. Adobe has said they tried and that they faced specific issues that prevented them from getting up and running on the mac. And the fact that the compilers run fine (where no UI is involved) but that Flex Builder doesnt certainly dovetails. So, again, to suggest that there is "no good reason" seems to suggest that they are either incompetent or dishonest, and I dont think that, at least in this case, that either assumption is warranted.
