I bought MPW and Object Pascal only because of MacApp.  In spite of the
advantages of MacApp, the slowness of MPW forced me to switch to LSC.  It's
really a shame, because MacApp is something Macintosh software developers have
needed since day one.  It has not caught on because most people just plain
prefer C, and MPW itself is overwhelming (in complexity, expense and slowness).

IHMO, you could make a *lot* of money selling a C++ compiler, similar to LSC,
if it also worked with MacApp.  I know that's a tall order, but the
opportunity is there and I hope someone takes advantage of it.
