Since there is not a great Wine audience for the Mac, the Eve Online Mac client should not be abandoned just for that reason.  The real reason may be that there is not a great deal of demand for an on-line game interface for the Mac.  Most Mac users loath having to use X11 for any purpose, and a game tops the list.
