To be honest I detest MacOS and find it very user hostile.  I first used
it in 1985, and find that to be true even today.  I have used all manner
of GUIs over the years so it isn't a 'one mindset' problem. (*)

I have two reasons for doing some Mac stuff myself.  One is a pure 
professionalism thing.  I deliberately chose to make BitPim something
that works in as many places as possible, and take pride in ensuring
it does, and continues to do so.  To paraphrase Voltaire, I may not
agree with your choice but I'll continue to ensure that you have one :-)

The other reason is a broadening the mind thing.  It is important to
see many different ways of doing things, and to use them for inspiration
when doing an even better job :-)

The real question is how many different versions of MacOS do I want
to deal with.  I am going to limit it to two, which will initially be
10.3 and 10.4.  (Do you have any pointers on how to setup a machine
so I can make it multi-boot with completely independent partitions
for each version?)

The main thing that will still be needed is "deep" Mac stuff.  Since
I can't possibly use all combinations of cellphones with all combinations
of desktop operating systems and their versions, there will be stuff
I won't notice that others will after a few minutes.

(*) I am busy watching the keynote.  Some good stuff there so who knows ...
