I think you are aim a bit high. There aren't many people working on it 
:) But I have used Freehand  even in Aldus times, so of course I can get 
inspired from it. It is work in progress... and open for patches.


And complain at Apple for dropping Rosetta. Or complain for their 
continuously uselessly changing operating systems. I still run PPC, so 
my binaries won't run without Rosetta. But of course, recompiling the 
sources is easy. Why do you need to replace your Mac at all? WHy do you 
need 10.7? It is all your choice.

That is why open source it is important: the freedom! You decide where 
to compile, which platforms to support... The Macintosh port of Graphos 
is my work.
Of course it is also the drawback: people must work on it. No free lunch.
