Ok, since we are outpouring our feelings here - I will, too. I did already
sent this to RSI, but I think I will duplicate it to specific people there
and - what the heck - mail a printout of it was well.

Dear RSI,

I would like to convey my deepest dissatisfaction with the recent decision
to discontinue IDL support for the Macintosh.
Our research group uses Macs as a platform of choice for historical resaons.
I was very pleased to discover that IDL for the Mac was made available, and
immediately wrote a number of applications that we use for processing
atmospheric measurements and climate data. We in our group were looking
forward to the OSX release which promised to be one of the best versions of
IDL ever. Now, it appears that we were betrayed in our trust.
I am asking that my protest be forwarded to officers in your company who are
in charge of decision making. NOAA that I work for recently bought a site
license and our Macs are using that to run IDL. I feel cheated to end up not
being able to use IDL when a site license is available. I played my role in
NOAA's purchasing the site license by responding to agency-wide survey and
saying that I will use IDL daily on my two G4 Macs.
I am asking that RSI delivers OSX verion as promised, and continues to
support IDL for Macintosh.

Sincerely,
Pavel
