Rather annoyingly I am getting this kind of pressure, as some (currently a rather smnall percentage) of my customers are being courted by my competitors and there is nothing I can do about it. I am not sure that I can tell my customers to wait 4 - 8 months for me to catch up with my competition.
I have to imagine a lot of the complexity is the GUI framework.
Several other compilers I play with were Intel-native before the first laptops shipped. I don't know how they did it, but the FPC crew had UB support for Pascal for almost a month before MacWorld. However, FPC uses Xcode -- not a customized, crossplatform framework.
When you think about it, RB has a lot under the hood, especially to target so many platforms. Only a few C++ toolkits attempt to be as crossplatform. I wonder how many of them (wxWidgets, QT) have manged to keep up with Apple?
