Todd,
I understand and share your frustration, and I do not have
understanding for the viewpoint proclaimed by bbum and some others, and
I strongly believe they do not understand the horizontal market, but to
call Ernie clueless is going too far. I know him from the times before
he was working @ Apple, and although I was really surprised to see him
braking his own promises, one should understand the environment these
guys are working. They are just surrounded by people who sell iMacs!
The environment is irrelevant.
I've known Ernie for a very long time, and I consider him a
friend.. and this situation puts me into an awkward place.
However, as "Product Line Manager, Development Platforms, System
Software Product Marketing" there is a level of responsibility that must
be taken.
It was Ernie that made these statements, publicly and numerous
times, including as recently as January (in a letter to the WebObjects
community). This was not a 'misunderstanding' of capability, it was
CLEARLY stated.
Considering that others are loosing their jobs because of this
reckless behavior on Apple's part, and hundreds of thousands of dollars
of investment are being just wiped out as a result of this there NEEDS
to be accountability. How else can Apple be trusted?
Now, you want STUPID? Want to put the 'resources' situation into
perspective? Want to see just how lousy Apple is treating those of us
who already use EOF and have supported the product for years?
Apple just released an update to MACAPP!!! That's right.. on June
20 they released an update to MacApp. MacApp has the full support of
Apple. And it CONTAINS THE SOURCE!!! So any problems/extensions could
be fixed by others without Apple's assistance!! Not true for EOF/Obj-
C/Cocoa.
We are getting screwed over big time... Even MacApp gets better
support...
