Yep, they are very effective at that. An architect called us last week because they need a replacement for TimeSlips on Mac. It does architectural billing. Started out as Mac-only in the 80s, then went cross-platform, then went Windows-only in the early 00s rather than pivot to Carbon. The caller strung it along on a Mac as long as they could. Presumably they will switch to Windows, as many of our users have already done.
