They've been around "forever".  I ran a bunch of their stuff on my 
NeXT slab under NeXTStep v3.3.  Their stuff was quad-fat IIRC, and I 
believe they were some of the very first native apps back in the 
Rhapsody days when Mac OS X was still under development.

It is going to take real work to get a lot of us to move off of Adobe.
