Wishing for people to write native apps for a system
with no market is
like wishing Windows would die. It might happen, but it's not bloody
likely.
steinberg committed to neundo on beos when beos had even less market
than linux does now (*). so did several other companies. one of them, iZ,
even went so far as to base an entire product (the RADAR HDR system)
around that OS.

(*) of course, no public release of nuendo for beos, or (i think) even
nuendo for irix, has ever took place.
