I don't understand the platform issue given that the tools are now
deprecated. WO is just plain old java isn't it ? what is there to
support ?
when the tools were around i could understand it. let's face it, they
didn't want to support the tools on OSX, let alone any other
platform :-)
maybe someone from apple could shed some light on it ? (as another pig
passes overhead... ;-))

But this is only from developer's view point.
From manager point jof view:
(1) small user group;
(2) limited official develop/deploy plantform;
(3) Nothing attractive enough non-technically;
these should be enough reasons to leave WO
Obviously if WO supports windows and linux, (2) will be gone and
the user group will getting bigger.
The efforts of porting WO to linux in classic and popular sense are
quite successful: GnuSTEP, SOEP and WO-direct-transplanting.
But not many win developers ever heard about WO. As long as
EOF still quite alien to cocoa developers, WO will not be so
attractive even to many apple developers. (So windows and objC
are important to WO)
Situation will not change too much if the strength of WO is only
appreciated by WO developers. What if the following become
standard and easily customizable/localizable
*Affair Editor/Publisher for business managers to manage affairs
(eg. events like conferences, sales, etc)
*Content management tools for business people instead of developers
*Survey Creator/Publisher/ResponseAnalyser for business analyser
*Business Rule editor and generic executor for business rule maker
I believe WO/EOF can help achieve the above much easier than
other techs (some of my work shows the feasibility). That's why
I'll not leave WO.
