I think I speak for more users than myself when I say that FireFox and 
Thunderbird are *not* Mac apps. Yes, they do pretty good, but they need 
to go a a bit further before they  will be able to compete with the 
other mac web browsers, IMHO.  My main gripe is that, even after the 
major changes they made to make it more mac-like, they still behave 
strangely. There a only a couple places left where there are major 
deviations from the usual mac app, but there are many items that behave 
almost, but not quite, like what you would expect. I think that this  
is especially a problem for more advanced users, since they are more 
likely to notice the differences.

Apple has been working to take java apps more and more towards being 
first class applications on macosx. With the ObjC <=> Java bridge, you 
can use all the cocoa classes in java apps, making porting a java 
program to cocoa rather simple. Also, they did a fairly good job of 
making the java Aqua theme fit in well.

Mark
