Ranting here on the list doesn't help much
And when you do file a bug, please don't just say "bring back EOF!"
Rather, be as specific as you possibly can about what exactly you
want to do with it, how much time or money it would save you, how
many Macs you think it would sell into what industry or market
segment, and so on.
Don't make an emotional case, make a business case. The more
detailed the business cases Apple sees for Cocoa EOF, the better they
can prioritize any work they do decide to do.
For instance, one thing Apple could do almost immediately - if they
see a business case for it - is sell an EOF 5 distribution license
separate from WebObjects. You can still develop EOF 5 applications
with Cocoa right now, you just have to have WebObjects 5 installed to
run them. Oh, and you have to either write these applications in
Java or call EOF from Objective-C via the Java bridge. If this will
address your needs, say so. The clearer the market picture the
decision makers can get, the better the decisions they should be able
to make.
