Will Graphisoft switch to XCode when CW is discontinued?

Any thoughts?

I'm mostly a PC guy (though typing on my PB right now), but I was kinda interested in porting my Radiance exporter to OSX, but I only have XCode. Could be a solution for me... but I don't think porting the whole of ArchiCAD from CW to XCode and gcc is a trivial task...

Graphisoft will have to switch to XCode to make the transition to Intel processors, so it is inevitable. I expect the process is well under way.

It depends on the dependencies on platform-specific tools/frameworks, but once ArchiCAD is ported to be compiled on gcc, the step to Linux is again a little bit smaller 😉
