I was drinking liquid when I read the above, and unfortunately
had to clean it off the screen! I guess some part of my brain
accidentally read it out loud, and found it rather like Dr. Seuss.
I'm sure all the above makes perfect sense to those who are deeply
imbedded in XCode programming, but it reminded me of the many arguments
I had with MS-DOS folks 20 years ago, when the Mac was young, and the
norm was to type -del *.* rather than drag
something to the trash can or recycle bin.
Really, it might be better for some of us Mac diehards, if XCode had
more of a GUI interface so it wouldn't be necessary to type stuff like
rm -rf in order to accomplish things. I don't know, after 20 years of
using Macs, one sort of gets spoiled and wants to click and drag
instead of remembering text that looks an awful lot like MS-DOS.
Maybe I can just string CodeWarrior along for a few more years and/or
subcontract any XCode work, but I would really hope that Apple will
eventually make XCode more useable for the rest of us.
