In the case of toolbars, I don't think it would be because they still have to make it cross platform, and for their sake I think they'd still use their custom solution on all platforms rather than native on OS X and custom on Windows and Linux.

Yes. But they could also do native toolbars only on OS X, sticking with their custom solution for Win/Linux. That's what I do for my apps.

That's what I said they probably wouldn't do. Better to spend time on other things.


Not to mention that a native toolbar doesn't require Cocoa. We have it now. :)

Right, but I'm hoping for some improvement in native-toolbar support in RB Cocoa: customizability, perhaps support for embedding EditFields, etc. Easy? No. But now is an ideal time to do it, while the API is being re-implemented anyway.

In the framework, yeah, but I don't expect these to be in the IDE. It's double the work for them for very little benefit.


If they demoed Cocoa at REAL World I'd imagine it would go something like "check out this app, you see this button? It's a Cocoa button! See these menus? Cocoa!" to many ooos and ahhs. :)
