Because there isn't a single developer using it daily. So bugs aren't getting reported and fixed. Also the state of wxWidgets on macOS doesn't help, but it is the smaller problem.

Sorry as I've said it is not intentional. I guess my soft skills are severely lacking.

It would indeed be nice, to check if our sources build ok (it seems they do), how well they do (amount of warnings) and use it on macOS. Fact is today, we are all developers either on linux or windows.
And if we can squash bugs in that area, we can try to have in the next version again a mac port. That would be great I think.

Why can't you fork it? Seems like you need to do something. Then do it. I think one of the reasons why C::B is so unstable is wxwidgets... but this is only a theory.
stahta01:
One way to get your CMake build system adopted would be to add the creation of CB building projects via the CMake build system; the devs already maintains two build systems auto/make and CB build files.
So, I can see them not wishing to add a third. But, if your CMake system works great on MacOS and it can be used to update the CB Projects files, I could see them accepting it.

What do you mean by unstable? If you're seeing crashes which aren't fixed in trunk, please report them either in the forum or on the bug tracker. If you don't report them I doubt they would be fixed.
