OpenOffice Switching to Cocoa?

Tim Bray reports from the OpenOffice.org Conference that they’re scrapping their current Mac OS X ports — an X11 version that’s, well, an X11 app, and an ever-so-slightly more Mac-like Java app that is slow and lags behind the OpenOffice state-of-the-art — and are going to do a true Mac app in Cocoa.

But we’ve heard this before — I called “vaporware” on the native Mac version of OpenOffice over two years ago.
