Things that would make the Cocoa / Project Builder / Interface Builder
world a better place, one that would make the average enterprise level
developer drool? Code completion code-insight, whatever you want to
call it. But the little popup's that provide the parameter list for a
given method, a popup to offer the closest match as you type for a
method name, and a better way to browse documentation (I find that the
in application methodology of both Visual Studio and Project Builder
is a disaster) to the point where I use a seperate window with the
docs in that to be able to work productively as a new to Cocoa
developer.
I guess they're following the 'you get it for free, so don't complain'
mantra. I'd personally would love if, failing that, Metrowerks stepped
up to that plate (they still need to debug their C++ code completion a
lot, but that's far harder than doing code completion for Objective-C).
As I do cross-platform development and so end up paying for the updates
every year or so, getting that from them would make me one of the
happiest men on earth.
The other thing the is missing is a data access model. A framework to
wrap the fancy ODBC Manager in Jaguar, with some basic ODBC drivers
would be a perfect start. Leverage Apple software, and provide a
framework to the ODBC datasources and an ODBC driver for FileMaker, or
the WebObjects supplied OpenBase.
Well they are running out of things to put in 10.3, aren't they? ;) At
least one can only hope...
At the very least they should make it available for OS X server.
Hope that helps.
