Well written article! While I do not share your opinions in every point, I enjoyed reading it - it's not just a pointless rant, like so many others. Just two quick things I noticed: * You don't need to make an animation for the cloth room. Just set the draping frames to a sufficient number (15 works for me most of the time) and make sure you check "start draping from zero pose". * Carbon is native. Finder is a Carbon application, iTunes is, Photoshop is, Cinema4D is, Maya is, DS is and so is Poser. What's wrong with Carbon and what would be the benefits of a Cocoa version (and would they outweight the porting effort)?
