Sometimes the simplest things are the more complex:

How does it handle menus across platforms?

Or native control appearances?

What does one do with Registry calls on OS X, or AppleScript on Windows?

Or file path delimiters?

Or line-ending delimiters?

Or.....

Apple's excited about it because of the role it can play in an OS
