Gruber interviews Simmons

John Gruber recently interviewed Brent Simmons, creator of NetNewsWire. "Interview" might be stretching it a tad; it comes off more like the two of them are yakking over a cup of coffee. Great stuff here.

I worked on the Windows version also. I wrote a fair amount of Windows-specific code, even. And I learned that I don't really like developing for Windows very much.
