In fact I did, and I have no doubt it's really great! So it's probably 
just me being pedantic as usual, but for me it's not a native OS X app, 
although or because it runs on OS X. To make it very simple I'd define 
a native OS X app as one which does *not* run on OS 9. ;-) The more 
official definition will probably mention the Cocoa development envi-
ronment, frameworks, tools, Mach, Darwin, Quartz, OpenGL, etc.

Regards,

Dinu
