Hi Jonathan, I'm glad that you're having fun with using MoI and that it's clicking so well with you!

It's actually a combination of Wine with some native Cocoa elements for some key areas too, that's why for example you get the native OSX file dialog when you go to save a file.

This is the same for V3 as well, producing a fully native application would involve a major amount of work so it's not going to happen anytime soon.

Actually clipboard functionality is another area where some native OSX code comes into play. Copy/paste between MoI and Rhino on OSX should be working as long as Rhino is open at the time that you're doing the pasting. It could be possible that this has been broken by changes in Rhino I suppose.

Yeah this is a consequence of the current UI design target which is having one single UI that can work on both a small screen netbook as well and does not require only a high resolution screen to run. In the future I'd like to try and do something for high res screens to take more advantage of the additional space. That's will involve a lot of work and planning though.

Not letting more specialized "power user" functions clutter up the UI is one of the things that helps keep the UI overall more streamlined and more useful to beginners... So this is pretty much intentional that a lot of special one-off things are delivered as scripts instead of baked directly into the main UI. In the future I do want to work on making it easier to manage plug-ins and scripts by some kind of script library UI, I have not had a chance to focus on that yet though.

Thanks for the feedback!
