These products all went down for different reasons: HyperCard - we know who killed this ;-) SuperCard - Still alive but barely (fall from grace was depending on Mac only and total incompetence in porting to Windows) Metrowerks - Even if they wanted to, very little money and Apple coming with a free development tool (ie the platform they support is their worst competitor).
