> I use Wireshark, but hate its GTK interface. I use Oracle SQL Developer where I can't have Quest SQL Navigator, but I hate its Java interface. At least they are free tools aimed at IT professionals. When average users are in play, delivering the proper interface may be what can make them buy.
I would say don't use these tools!
Have you looked at RealBASIC. It is monolithic but still very usable and
truly xplat in all manner. It supports Win/Mac/Linux. It is better than
Delphi in all way for anyone who is looking for a way to build multiple
platform apps sitting/woring in Windows.
Of course for Delphi die hards like you there is FPC with MSDE to
develop xplat apps.
