I've been in the "software industry" for 20 years. Only Apple (and
its apologists) seem to find that attitude acceptable. Being an
Apple-only developer/consultant, perhaps you don't realize the
"software industry" is far far larger than you think it is.
As a cross-platform developer, I feel compelled to point out where I
think one platform got something wrong that others got right - with
the best interests of the customer in mind.
I'd never dream of apologizing for the state of any of Apple's
development tools--complaining about them more often than using them
got me fired from Apple after all--but given the amount of time they
presently dedicate to maintaining the current versions, stretching
those resources even thinner to make everything backward compatible
for a tiny handful of self-proclaimed gadflies who fancy themselves
champions of consumer justice would only mean even more bugs for
everybody else.
Perhaps you can elaborate as to what amazing new feature 10.5's
Installer has brought that you simply cannot live without in 10.4? I
haven't found any of them to be terribly important, and many of them
seem to be quite horribly broken to boot.
