That's odd.  I haven't seen a case where it doesn't use the CSS.  The 
PEP and Default CSS are quite light on the noticeable impact.

Well -- I have a full featured app  with very little effort beyond the 
very specific task of integrating docutils.   All of the editing, emacs 
key bindings, multiple documents, cut/copy/paste, spell check as I 
type, the split view, printing (oh, wait, haven't connected the one 
line to make that work), web browsing, windows management, toolbar 
management, standard .app, find panel (which I broke recently. 
whoops.), services support, etc... come for free with Cocoa.

If I had tried to build the same thing with wxPython or one of the 
other toolkits, it would have taken considerably longer for a 
considerably less polished app.

However, it is all open source under a BSD license for a reason.  If 
you want it on your platform of choice, feel free to recycle what you 
can!

Now I just need to apply the spelling changes that David suggested.
