Petition to Google and other cross-platform app-makers: please take the time to integrate with OS X; Mac users can already run PC apps with the help of VirtualBox, VMWare Fusion, or Parallels.
The port might be via Wine, same as the Linux version.
I wish more Mac OS X application developers would port their software to other platforms, but sadly this is basically unheard of. With continued improvements to WxWidgets, GTK+ and (to a much lesser extent) Qt and XUL hopefully people will start embracing toolkits designed for true cross-platform development rather than developing for each proprietary API individually and considering other platforms as an afterthought.
What give you the impression that Qt doesn't have many continued improvements? If anything I get the exact opposite. The Qt devs are improving the OS X support significantly.
I'm sure it does, it's just out of reach of most small developers due to its commercial nature so is less likely to have as big of an impact as the others.
I can't even begin to describe how happy I am that it's not Mac-like, i.e. not dumbed-down to idiotic Apple UI idoms. I have an IQ above 50 so I don't need "OSX-style" UI for retarded Oklahoma children, thank you very much google for not ruining it. It works exactly as it did on Windows which is... like a hundred years ahead of iPhoto. I'm sorry kids, but Apple should be learning from Picasa how to make usable UIs, not the other way around. I hope this trend of ignoring OSX's idiotic idioms will continue.
I don't have to go back to Windows anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a day... Christmas came late for me this year. :-) I'm sitting here, typing this smiling like a baby.
If google wanted to charge $1K for it, I would have paid it.
For someone so happy to "[not] have to go back to Windows anymore!!!^69" you're clearly a Mac user. I find it puzzling that you've got such distaste then, for "OSX-style UI for retarded Oklahoma children". If you're so clearly against windows and use OS X and all of the applications it has to offer, aren't you really just saying a bit about yourself here? That or this is purely hypocrisy. For having such hate for "OSX's idiotic idioms", I find it pretty surprising that you use the platform at all.
At least you could have made your frustrations clear in a less vicious manner, and without making yourself look like such a tool.
That's what happens when you post a message 15 minutes after watching a football game, still drunk and excited. Should have known better. Answering your question, I'm on a Mac against my will [a number of reasons] and I rarely use anything else than Safari, Photoshop, vim and bash console.
