According to an announcement posted on the Carbon developer's mailing list, Metrowerks announced at AdHoc that the forthcoming release of CodeWarrior 10 will be the last for OS X. This isn't surprising given that Apple is transitioning to Intel chips and Metrowerks has exited the Intel market, but it's still the end of an era. CodeWarrior literally saved Apple's bacon during the transition to PowerPC in the early 1990s by shipping the first working set of developer tools for the new platform. And since then CodeWarrior has been the main toolkit for commercial development on the Mac (especially pre-XCode).

I've been using the Mac for nearly twenty years now and remember when it seemed as though Code Warrior saved Apple's hide during the transition from the 68k chip the PowerPC processor. For that I will thank Metroworks and miss them.
As a end user, forgive a possibly dumb question. Can a developer using Code X port their code fairly easily to other platforms?
My thanks to all those who have been making Apple Apps over the years!
