Apple just released an update to MACAPP!!!
Okay, as far as I'm concerned that completely blows away the "scarce
resources" excuse. If Apple can support both of their remaining MacApp
developers this way, then EOF users deserve at least as much.
Guys,
I agree that the current Cocoa/EOF/Objective C situation is bad, and
that we've been deceived, once more. But the scarce resources excuse is
still valid. We know, us NEXTSTEP old timers, that we won: Cocoa is
pretty much what we liked to use. It's great to be still able to use it,
and this was not granted one or two years ago. I admire Apple for
pulling this out without aggravating (too much) the faithful Mac
developers. So in the end, I do not mind if scarce resources are used to
placate MacApp developers.
The problem with EOF is probably more political than technical anyway.
Now do we really want EOF for more than legacy purposes? There are times
when I think that it became too big, slow and complicated, and in the
end, not so great. The amazing thing is that nothing better seems to
exist...
