At the end of the day, RR has to find niches where cross-platform development is important or even critical. Those niches exist. But they are not mainstream programmers on either platform (and certainly not on *nix, whose developers seem to prefer Open Source tools). To delude itself into thinking it will *ever* make significant inroads into any traditional programming market would, I think, be the end of RR.
I have to say, I completely agree. In general, Windows developers are simply not seeking a tool like this. Many Mac developers are, as well as many developers who are specifically looking for X-plat capability.
For me, X-plat is an absolute necessity. For one thing, I work on Macs exclusively. This is strictly my choice and preference. But my clients need Windows apps, and only occasionally a Mac version.
I have to admit, I've been studying Apples XCode in the past week, if only to better understand what I am currently choosing *not* to use. So far as I can see, the only way to develop X-plat using a single code-base with XCode would be to do so in Java, and I'm not sure I'm interested in that route. The package is VERY compelling though...
