Adobe and Apple, is it all over

[Todd Warfel]

Not to defend Adobe, but there might be more to the decision making  
process than what is high-lighted here.

For instance, the fact that it ties into Wordpress, Moveable Type,   
etc. is a great feature.

It's entirely possible that they found some things out during their  
beta testing or field trials that became a higher priority than  
making it Universal. I'd like to think that they could do both - fit  
in the necessary features and make it Universal, but alas that  
doesn't seem to be the case.

The brass ring would have been to get all the features it has plus  
make it Universal. I'm hopeful, perhaps hopelessly optimistic, that  
Adobe will pick up the rest of the pieces and make it Universal soon.

Had Adobe had the foresight to build the thing in XCode, then that  
probably would have made the transition much easier, faster, and  
smoother.

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
