...although a lot of good things follow from the fact that MacOS X is Unix-based, graphical Unix applications will still need considerable rewriting since the X Windows system will not be supported under MacOS X (at least not per default). So time spent on writing code for the current (Carbon-compatible) Mac Toolbox will probably still be a good investment.
There are at least two X-Windows available under MacOS X, the Tenon's somewhat pricey commercial http://www.tenon.com/, and the FreeBSD based found at http://mrcla.com/XonX/. So a possible MacOS X development strategy might be to first make a working X-windows version, and then translate the graphics package into the MacOS X proper. -- Since all this is very time consuming development, the trick will be to figure out how pick together the pieces development made by many, I think.
