this isn't really appropriate. as brian noted .. you can choose to
build/deploy against 10.4 and never look back. there are plenty of
things to bitch about with any OS as it moves through time. i'm not a
fan of either of the major proprietary operating systems, but i could
come up with similar nightmares about open source efforts too. we just
released ardour 2.8.12 with snow lion support but its built with 10.4
as the target. there were 3 or 4 bugs in the GUI toolkit we use that
had to get fixed, and that was pretty much the end of the story.
just choose to build against 10.4 (or 10.5 if you want) and forget
about it. if you need some API feature from 10.5 or 10.6, then you
probably need to rethink your attitude toward the evolution of
operating systems.
as for carbon, apple have been describing it as deprecated for nearly
a decade (perhaps more). time, as they say, to die.
