This is a great article and interesting to me as a Mac user since 1984 to look back at the various transitions.  Arguably perhaps the most complex app that has gone through all these transitions is 4th Dimension (now 4D) who has stuck with Apple through thick and thin.  In addition to being a rapid app generator, it includes a web server, a word processing and spreadsheet and now object oriented development environment an rapid iOS app generator.  And this has been natively ported through all these transitions and what is most interesting to me is that the original developer of this software Laurent Ribardiere is still I believe at the company and guiding this latest transition to Apple Silicon, which will also include a compiler for Apple Silicon to generate native code for the apps created.  Perhaps this might deserve a separate article, but I would have thought should at least be included in this list of Mac original developers?
