For the last word I'll hand over to John Carmack, Technical Director of ID
Software, who used NeXTSTEP to develop Doom and parts of Quake (that's
right!): "We developed lots of products under dos (mostly borland c++),
and
never want to again. We went through five major iterations of our tools
under DOS, and they are all junk below our first iteration of NS tools.
You
can't really just point at specific things and claim superiority. It is
the
complete package that has the appeal. NS is the best tool I have found for
MY development work."
I think that's very strange, because AFAIK Carmack doesn't like OOP.
I'm a bit confused.
