I think it's mostly probably just that someone would need to port the
code to Mac and then maintain that Mac port, and until someone
volunteers to do that, it just won't happen. I don't know if there's
anything particular in the LMMS codebase that would not run well on
MacOS...
Although, one also has to consider, is it worth it? There's already
plenty of audio applications for Mac, the competition over there is even
more fierce than it is on windows... would the typical Mac user be
satisfied with LMMS? Is there any demand for a Mac port?
