Some are even both.

Another anecdotal Swing story:  Our company has a JNLP application
built on top of JMF that allows users of any platform to preview media
files served up via a servlet -- that is, every platform apart from
OSX 10.7.  I can't imagine asking a user to install XCode for X11 and
then install OpenJDK just to preview media.  We'll have to create a
Mac application, written in Objective C -- which is just what Jobs
wants us to do...
