The only thing about .NET is the size of the framework.

If you need a simple app, your app may be 4 Megs but the framework is atleast 20MB so thats 24MB to download.

But... It's always a struggle between the speed of RB and the beauty of the Frameworks of the OS. As said I'm using a lot of graphics and spend a lot of time in searching for the right way create it between the relative high walls of RB. RB for me is only used to create Mac Apps and won't compile to Win.

I'd propose to give Cocoa a try, in case you write pure OS X apps. Cocoa isn't that complicated - once you invested some time in learning basics of the language and basics
of the framework.

If you need to write DB-bound stuff, CoreData and bindings is simply great.

As I posted earlier, several sites mentioned the fact, that Apple is going to implement a garbage collector in Cocoa. This, there will shortly be no need for complex malloc/free problem hunting. If garbage collection is finally available,
you never need to release anything - as in RB.

In case you need to go Window: Additionally, you might wish to review Apple's developer site. There is an article, which explains the usage .Net and Cocoa for cross platform
projects.

Finally, C# and Visual Studio are really nice solutions. You can even deploy your compiled .Net apps by means of web-downloads - the user doesn't need to run a installer
and the app checks for updates for free.

All in all: Starting Cocoa isn't done in 3 days, but any time investment will give
you very good return.
