This is starting to sound whiny. Apple doesn’t 'dictate what SCM system to use'. They don’t dictate what programming language you use either, but Xcode doesn’t syntax-highlight COBOL or ship with a Lua interpreter. they should provide plugin system (and AFAIK, Xcode 4.0.X doesn't have such a system, but Xcode 3.X has) , so 3rd party developers will be able to provide support to whatever SCM system other developers need
The Xcode 3 SCM plugin interface was internal, and never made public. I know of at least one 3rd party plugin for it, but it was either unofficially reverse-engineered, or they got some kind of one-off license from Apple.
A solid SCM interface to an IDE is probably pretty complex, especially if it has to be generic, since every SCM system seems to have something that makes it significantly different from all the others.
but why I'm complaining, it's not as bad as Carbon 64 was handled, THAT was REALLY bad.
(and don't start here that Cocoa is better than Carbon that is not relevant)
they may be good for producing good smart phones, but it looks like they don't know how to produce tools for developers
they should take a look at 15 years old Metrowerks IDE, maybe they will learn something :-)))
Oh jeez, let’s just compare Apple to Hitler and pre-emptively end this thread now[1]. Because if not, the moderator is probably going to smack it down very soon anyway.
