You're talking about something that might have been relevant 5 
years ago but not longer has any meaning. Which is to say 
"balderdash". I think you're not well informed about what's 
_not_ been happening to the Macintosh version because in all 
likelyhood you're not familiar with what's been going on under 
the hood with the MacOS for the last five years and how these 
changes have been manifesting themselves in other applications. 
These things are apparent to someone like Darcy Argue (who has a 
broad experience on Mac platforms).

The point is that just like everyone else, Coda has known since 
late 1996 that changes were coming and since late 1997, 
opportunity to stage in a Carbon port. Nobody on the face of the 
planet can tell be otherwise because I released plugins in 1998 
which used calls only available from the CarbonAccessors.o 
library (i.e. Carbon Jr.) and which required users to install 
the Appearance and Navigation Manager extensions.

That's 4 years we've been waiting for Mac-specific upgrades, not 
a couple of months.

FinWin 2003 is compatible with WindowsXP but FinMac 2003 will 
not be with MacOS X. Yet MacOS X was released well before 
copycat XP.

That's out and out platform bigotry.
