Yes you can: below the hood you will always find that level. But
drawing is not the largest part of the work: the elements of the UI
must receive information (either from your program or from the user)
and generate events, which must be acted upon. This exchange has to
happen as smoothly as possible from the point of view of the user. It
is under this aspect that the various user interfaces differ most:
every UI designer started with different ideas on how best to provide
the service.

As I mentioned in another recent thread, I am too poor to own anything
made by Apple. A couple of times I had to dabble with a Mac for
work-related reasons, but both times I put Linux on it. Thus, I cannot
share my experience.

I heard that iOS and MacOS are much more homogeneous than Linux and
Android, from the application programmer's point of view. Macruby is
an Objective-C implementation, so it has to be directly in contact
with the OS internals. RubyMotion must be a nifty tool for generating
iOS apps. 

But of one thing I am certain: the RubyMotion developers have NO
interest in making it easier for you to develop Android apps.

Everyone who invests in knowledge, time, and maybe money, on a
specific platform, will then try, more or less gently, to steer you
towards that platform. Nobody in the market is concretely interested
in the "One UI to rule them all" ideal, unless the UI is their own
adopted one. Knowledge is power...

I have several friends in the same situation. It was most astonishing
for me to follow Mac followers as they obediently followed Steve
as he did that complete somersault from Os9 to OsX.

Probably not; 20-year Window users have a different profile...

That's why I suggest that you do not follow the multiple-platform
goal. If you have a good idea, the best you can do is try to prove the
pudding. While focusing on MacOS/iOS will not cover the large slice of
potential users that you dream of reaching, it may reach enough of
them anyway. In the process, you will learn a lot. Most important: you
will learn if your idea is feasible. 

MacRuby, from what I read, is comfortably solid, and if you can afford
RubyMotion (I have no idea about the costs), you will most probably
find a gentle enough path to exploring this world. Most important, due
to the kind of public who chooses Apple products, I believe the
media-related part should have been given proper attention.

Enjoy!

Carlo
