Many controls are already native In MacOS builds. Those that are use
Appearance Manager functions as much as possible for look-and-feel.

Seth,
The support of Cocoa by RB, only means we will have native controls
on Mac OS created by RB?
Is it deeper than that?
Sorry again, but in everyday life of a RB developer, what is going
to be new in the IDE, the language of RB, will we use some of Apple
Developer's tools? Will we be using an Apple IDE to writte Mac apps
with RB's language?
Regards,
Youri

So, it is a "big show off", more than anyrhing.
Not at all. There are umpteen practical benefits from Cocoa.
Then, why loosing time and ressources with Cocoa? For those who
want Cocoa, then use Cocoa,no?
For the reasons Charles listed, and because people, like me, that
used REALbasic for Mac only apps, are switching from REALbasic to
Cocoa directly because REALbasic just cannot keep up with Cocoa by
reimplementing (often poorly) everything that's a standard feature
in Cocoa.
Cocoa is leaps and bounds ahead of RB for Mac development. IMO
it's almost laughable to use RB for a Mac-only app these days.
(Don't get me wrong, it's not RS's fault.) Thankfully RS
recognizes that RB is seriously missing out, and are on the path
to close up the gap.
