How about a comparison between TCL and MacApp:
  E.g. the structure of their core classes - the basic building blocks
  of Mac applications,  how similar are the two models?

  Having played TCL a bit, I feel that it's not too hard to find
  my way around the classes; but, does MacApp have a even simpler
  model?  My only impression with MacApp was from a book at the
  bookstore, which seemed to show a simplier diagram?

  Comments from people experienced with both or from Symantec people 
  would be very interesting.

Other interesting comparisons:
How about C++ feature list?  MPW is a full implementation of c++,
isn't it?  But, what c++ features have actually been used in the MPW
libraries distributed?  Any comment about future plan from Symantec? 
  
How about developing enviroment?
MPW C++ very slow, right?
TC lacking "Makefile" is more annoying than before now that we have
a lot of single-class files to deal with.  An improvment for project
management is in order.
Which has better debugging environment?

Let's shake some light but with as little heat as possible.
