Hum, how do you define "very quickly"? 1 month, 6 months, 1 year
(i.e. next time the OS is probably going to see a majored revision)?

One poster on CocoaBB said that using NSArrayController he was able to
remove almost 200 lines of code from one of his document classes, and
using NSController he was able to remove almost all of the outlets in
another document class.
His software is now incompatible with previous OS versions. A big step
for backward compatibility. And an interesting question is: is the code
faster or slower than before?
NSController is not making me jump... It might be interesting for
in-house development though.
As more of the small utilities and applications that make Mac OS X
such a pleasant system to use require Panther, the pressure to upgrade
will go up. And hey, the fact that your Mac can get faster and look
classier with Panther doesn't hurt!
Why are some people still using 10.1.5 then?
I think a similar thing is happening on the Windows platform with .NET
and Windows XP. The large applications aren't switching, what's
causing people to bite the bullet and install the .NET runtime or
upgrade to XP is the wealth of small utilities people are putting out
that require them. (Or vertical market applications, for corporate
Windows users.)
.NET is still alive?
On the corporate side, Panther adoption will be driven by the fact
that new Macs are shipping with it and the manageability of an
all-Panther network is top-notch. The fact that you can develop your
mission-critical custom applications faster with Panther than any
other system (including Jaguar) is just icing on the cake.
I'm wondering whether I should say or not that developing with Panther
is currently a nightmare for me compared to Jaguar.
