Yes, let's keep that in the forefront.
That of course leads to the following question. What defines a Mac app?
I'm interested to hear what the answers might be because I think there
can actually be quite different opinions among us on that.
The main thing that defines a Mac app is that it is clean and
uncluttered. That there are not a baazillion widgets and buttons and
preferneces and that the app is 'ready-to-go' for most uses for most
users without opening a single preference pane.
It subscribes to the HIG as much as possible, it supports all OS X
services like the spellchecker, the editing keybindings ('emacs keys'), etc.
It doesn't go off an 'do its own thing' just for the sake of being
different or in some quest for cross-platform compatibility (Mozilla,
I'm looking at you).
