As usual, it is those that complain the most that do the less (talking
about these anonymous cowards).
And yes I have basically stalled development of the Mac version out of
my frustration of supporting a closed platform and lack of support from

(I also haven't done much lately on AbiWord, but because I'm busy
bringing software freedom in other areas).
Sad but true.
