No Abiword For Mac?

aliya writes "With Abiword's version 1.90 coming out, their cocoa developer has announced that he will no longer work on a Mac version of the software because he doesn't want to support the company which treated him so poorly. There is a still a somewhat-supported X11 version available, though it is not kept current, and it appears that Abiword will join the abundant ranks of 'almost supported' word processors for Mac OS X."

    (feel free to assign -1 troll) Millions of mac users today are dismayed by the announcment of whoever that he won't be developing his ever popular word processing app for the Mac. Oh!! how will they ever type another document? Analysts suggests, this may be the end of the mac platform. Just from this guy's little blurp, he is very ego-centric. This guy is putting a personal gripe over any possibility of moving his app one level above obscurity. That's ok I'll continued using Word.
