There's no question that UB support has attracted new developers.
It's an essential feature that ALL Mac developers would want to have
in their toolkit. UB support is MUCH more useful and essential than
most of the extensions that you propose which are useful to a very
specialized minority.
For a Mac developer you can't get a bigger or more important feature
than UB support!

For suure but my point is it didn't add any major features to EXPAND the
user base. It was an essential thing to do for their survival as a company
and yes - it meanguys currently on 5.5.5 would now upgrade, but all that
painful work didn't really add any new features with a "USP" that might
attract new developers to the platform that currently use a different
language/toolset.

That whole porting to Intel and Xcode thing must have been painful in

You must be kidding! Building UB's is a huge marketable feature. I
believe it's the single biggest thing that's causing RB 5.5 hold outs
to invest in RB 2007, and the most important feature driving 2005 and
2006 users to upgrade.
