But if one wanted to write for cross platform, using as much shared code as possible while being able the "tweak" the OSX version in places where a Cocoa GUI widget or other feature offered a benefit to that version, it would be good to know it could be done all inside RB.
Its all about having as many choices to fine tune apps for the particular OS while maintaining as common a code base as possible.
