- The visual aspect is very nice to work with. Nice to have easy to
read, *coherent* documentation and API design, as opposed to the mish
mash that is MFC (.Net is OK, but the associated baggage with it, IMHO,
is ridiculous).
MFC is soooo awful.
only the most ferocious, MS-brain washed developer, VS owner use MFC.
it's why you have .NET, BCL, etc ...
there is some good things too :-)
That said, I do have some (hopefully constructive) criticisms
- Why do I have to "create" a file as a seperate step after creating a
new subclass in the class window of IB? Is there *ever* a use case
where creating a new class that I would *not* want to create the
associated .h and .m files?
launch you nib.
in the main window where there is all top level item (usually at the
bottom left corner) there is a classes tab.
first select an instance of the desired class in the instance tab (it
will ease your life in the next few seconds)
the clic on the classes tab. normally the class of the instance
previuosly select should be selected, otherwise browse for it.
now, if you have a one button mouse ctrl+clic (otherwise right clic)
and you have a read file option.
and... voila !
- Some form of "intelli-sense" (for lack of a better term), i.e. the
ability for the editor to drop down a list of potential methods for a
class, arguments to a function/message, etc
on all windows IDE.
I know they are inferior. but they have intelli-sense, at least.
- Hot keys - I am still struggling with getting used to using the
"apple" key - I have tried to re-assign various hotkeys in PB to use
Ctrl + whatever, but certain combinations do not work. For example, I
can get Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V (copy, paste) to work, but Ctrl + S just
seems
to insert some invisible character that then causes compiles to fail
(and doesn't save the file). Not the end of the world but it does take
some getting used to.
I guess that 'apple+s' IS the way to go. but you could use a windows
keyboard and use 'windoews+s' :-)
Frankly, I still think it is a *great* tool and really really enjoy
working with it. Too bad there isn't a version of Cocoa and IB/PB for
Win32 (no don't mention GNUStep, I am aware of that).
there was.
but it's Apple great evolutionary plan.
they drop the librarian, they drop the yellow box, they drop other
thing I don't know about.
sometimes I wonder why....
