Network.framework: A modern alternative to sockets

Interesting. As a counterpoint, if I look at the toolkit I'm using right now on my MacBook, it's:

Chrome

Firefox

Hipchat

Vim

Git

So, not one single-platform tool in the bunch. I'd even go so far to say that, aside from my terminal emulator and app install tool, I don't use any single-platform tools in my day to day job.

Because they're, in many cases, as good if not better than the native-only alternatives?

I guess it depends on what types of apps one tends to use and what work you do. While I make frequent use of the terminal, I live in UI apps all day, so bad ports tend to stick out more prominently. If I lived in vim or emacs I could see it not mattering as much.

Do you use iTerm for opening vim?

Clutching at straws.
