OSX may be BSD Unix at it's core, but OSX isn't like any other Unix.
The whole user interface thing is totally different than X-Windows and
that's where most of the effort in porting Frame goes. OSX uses a
different language and imaging model than just about every other
operating system in the world (except NeXTStep... which is what it
really is!), so the exercise if not trivial. Supposedly Adobe is "just
about done" doing a port to Carbon. If so, from the user point of
view, you won't be able to really notice the difference. But it won't
be "native OSX" by the strictest definition.
