And you've never seen crappy native Cocoa apps on the Mac? This is the *exact* same argument that arose when Apple banned Flash- ported application on the iPhone. Yes, the default behavior looks like crap. So does the default behavior even when using Interface Builder. It takes a skilled designer to develop a nice looking UI, regardless of the underlying platform or technology.
And the "correct" response to the argument is, let the market decide. Crappy apps won't sell. Great ones will. Implementation technology is irrelevant. But getting back to the main topic: if the only reason Apple has decided to kill its JVM is so Java developers won't be able to submit apps to the Mac App store, that seems pretty heavy handed to me.
