Porting existing unix software to bundles and frameworks doesn't work well, because they expect to spew config files and .po files and all kinds of other stuff all over the filesystem, and aren't good at locating their resources through relative paths.

I'd be happier to see bundles and frameworks migrate the other way. They're much easier to deal with than spewing files all over the filesystem. There was some work towards that in the GNUstep project, but that's pretty much dead now.
