Apple Does not 'Just work'

Try writing code for Macs - that makes using them a dream
LOL One of the main reasons I switched to PCs for development. I just got absolutely sick of the state of development on the Mac. I figure I'll branch back eventually, when I can make my subplatform multi-platform itself, but I don't want to put up with it until I'm ready. Granted things might be a lot better now, it's been several years. But the fact that you can't use C++ really irks me (Carbon was just plain bad). There are a few things I miss--but mostly to do with the actual Mac platform (things like bundles) than the development thereof.

Yes, that is very true. I remember how odd C++ looked when I had just come out of high school learning BASIC on an Apple ][e ( showing my age here :laugh: ). Then, after C++, found Java odd, learned it, then onto C#, and I have to say, I do like all three of the languages.

So why not to use Java for Mac programming? Your IDE will look the same (at least NetBeans is packaged for Mac SO too), language, librarties, frameworks, etc... Wasn't is Java that saved all the ***x OS from oblivion?

Yeah, there always is Java :rolleyes:

I am so, so sick of typing in my password every single time I want to do anything, and of apps crashing, and of things like the Airport Update rendering the Airport base station inoperative, and missing support for things like WMA files, and my USB drive, and all the other crap that Apple likes to thing only happens to PC users. I knew Apple was full of hot air and stretching the truth but it's now at the point of offensive. Get your house into order, Apple, before you think about slinging stones and arrows.
