All the other major things, even Quark, are OS X now. Protools. MOTU Digital Performer, etc, etc.
I totally agree. Two years ago, yeah, this would have been understandable. However, now it's just plain wrong. Stop with the excuses Coda, or Make Music, or whatever you are calling yourselves now. Make a deadline, and ship the thing. You are going to lose more customers if you keep it up.
PS: Great point about a LONGHORN version.

You could say that about this assessment, and be correct, maybe two years ago. Most other companies finished the migration well over a year ago, and even Quark, purported to be the last major manufacturer of Mac software to complete the migration, got there several months ago. We are now in the fourth version of OS X.
I am not emotional about it, but extremely disappointed. It makes it difficult to manage academic labs when a key piece of software has no firm development timetable. We are all trying to make the migration, so we are not left out in the cold in other areas, and have been for two years now. It is not true that it works fine in Classic. It just doesn't. Playback is not reliable no matter how you do it, and it is certainly unacceptable for a university lab situation. We have been hearing these arguments for 3 years now. For most software companies, 3+ years is more than enough time to develop for a new platform. Let us see if it takes them 3 years to come out with a Longhorn-compliant version after the OS has been made available to the public. I should hope not.
The most upsetting issue was that it was promised in Summer of 2003, after the disappointment of not having it in 2002. Now it will be at least 2004, and maybe later. Who knows at this point?
