As Gruber (a proud Apple fan and programmer) over on Daring Fireball said a couple of days ago of the example Marzipan apps in Mojave:
"and the new “Marzipan” apps — Home, News, Stocks, Voice Memos — range from “not great and a little weird” (Home) to “downright terrible” (the other three)."
Hopefully this will crash and burn in the market just like the universal windows apps marketplace did. Different platforms with totally different UI needs, need targeted applications for a good user experience (as Apple's example Marzipan apps in Mojave have shown....this aint it). This is the kind of "investment" I'd have expected from Apple before Job's came back (i.e. under CEO Gil Amelio) cause it sounds good to execs who don't know much about programming (instant fix for iPad App numbers and Mac App store, but not really).
I want my iPad apps to be more customized from iPhone apps, not my Mac Apps made like iPhone Apps. Its a shame Apple is wasting the time and effort on this when they could be investing those resources for other things. JMHO...
Dude, don't complain, this gives you ugly mediocre apps that sorta work across the different platforms (phone, tablet, desktop) with completely different UI needs...its not a good thing. Guessing few successful apps will be using it across platforms, but we'll see.

This is a day late & a dollar short, why does it take this long for Apple to deliver on this?!
