The pure business outlook is really "do what's going to sell the most copies." What Adobe or Microsoft has to do to make that happen is much different than what Macromates or Panic has to do.
Yup, which makes it even more important that we do our homework and determine the business realities of any such Leopard-only dev, instead of just adopting the latest and greatest tech because it makes our garbage collection easier.
The premature adoption of any tech can cost heaps, especially when you are ahead of the actual sales curve of that tech. It's all very well being on the cutting edge, but every now and then you bleed. Any OpenDoc, QuickDraw GX or OpenTalk developers/survivors around here still?
