HelloSystem – OS with original Mac philosophy with a modern architecture

You would have achieved the same via Delphi, C++ Builder, VB6, .NET.

I do Windows since version 3.0, and very seldom have touched raw Win32 other than for some university projects where I had no choice to do otherwise.

Having said that, NeXT and Apple frameworks are great.

.NET wasn't even close to ready when I tried it back then. The very first thing I tried (a customized table/listview) was directly enormously inferior to the corresponding class in Cocoa.

I have a rule that if a platform fails the very first thing I try, I'm gonna assume it can't really be awesome for all other things, statistically :P
