I can discontinue supporting Carbon VMs at any moment you say. And i will start using Cocoa VMs on my machine, like that , you will have 1 more tester. It is bad when you have no testers, because it makes discovery of bugs and glitches much slower :) > This are the issues preventing people to adopt cocoa version (at least those > I can see now): > 1) Not enough plugins.
