Nice.

Not only you do denigrate the efforts of other developers simple because you disagree with the goals of their work, you show your own cynicism by bitching about it rather than offering anything of constructive value.

Perhaps it would be better to ask about the INTENT of a bug, or item that you feel is bloat (something I don't see in Xcode, but then I've spent alot of time with Borland's Delphi and Microsoft's Visual Studio. Both product that cost upwards of a $1000 US).

Garbage Collection, is in my opinion a tool that promotes sloppy programming, but that doesn't change the fact that the compiler supports it, and that while it probably doesn't make sense for Objective C(++) projects, it is viable for C targets, and since the flag is a pass through to GCC, it probably does have valid uses, despite the fact that you may never need it.

If there is one thing I've learned after 15 years of software development, it's that no two developer's will ever view anything software related in the same light, and that there are only two types of developers, those that can see another point of view, and those that can't.

In short, please refrain from your useless complaining, and do something constructive with your obvious talents.

Andy

I would hazard a guess that Cem is referring to the "Enable Objective-C Garbage Collection" compiler option in the Xcode build settings inspector. In which case, I'll just state for the record that it doesn't currently do anything useful.


Aaah, so the XCode team is not only very busy adding more bloat, more bugs, more crashes and more clutter, they *ALSO* add features wich do nothing... Oh my, how I love this IDE... :>
