I don't normally contribute to the list only get ideas and info from
you folk, but this comment forced me to make a comment of my own,
though it will start to divert from your initial query.
Adding to your comment I can only say that anything Cocoa is
complete and utter crap... Full stop! I don't see why Apple dropped
the true and tested Apple toolbox over some unproven garbage named
after a caffeine plant. But anyways, I would think that Apple still
has the mentality of thinking that everyone will jump as soon as
they decide to do something different. I suspect that now they don't
have any more original pre MacOS X programmers to continue the great
work... You know, now the norm is
- have big fat icons.... cause that that is why we buy 30" screens,
just in case we might not see them.
- don't make the GUI standard across applications... (Apple, you
should forget about writing documents that state how to adhere to
Human Interface guidelines.... You never obey them yourself!)
- don't make improvements to MacOS 9.2.2+ (Ho, I forgot that has
been dropped since Leopard... kind of reminiscent of VISTA and
backwards compatibility. Now in X we get that extra comfort of
watching the crappy
I bet you wasn't a the OS 9's funeral 6 year ago, else you would know
why Apple did not release an OS 9 update since at least 2002.
I also bet you don't know what Cocoa is, else you wouldn't have so
absurd comment like «Reinvent the wheel over and over again».
Ask a Carbon developper how much he has to reinvent to create a simple
document base application used to managed a simple object graph, and
then, ask a Cocoa developer how many line he has to code to do the
same thing, and after that, tell me who is rewriting the wheel each
time it has a simple task to accomplish.
