- starkfist 16y agoTransmit 4 is awesome, but you can tell a platform is stagnating when one of the coolest applications is an FTP client.
- jrockway 16y agoActually, you can tell it's awesome when your business is sustained by people buying a $34 wrapper over a few perl scripts.
- lallysingh 16y agoActually it's a wrapper around a library they licensed for like $500. 15 licenses later and they've made their money back!
- tlrobinson 16y agoWhich library?
- datasink 16y agoTransmit 4.0 (x86_64) Session Transcript [Version 10.6.3 (Build 10D2094)] (4/28/10 11:48 PM) LibNcFTP 3.2.3 (July 23, 2009) compiled for UNIX
- jrockway 16y agoVery interesting. I had no idea there was a market for libraries.
- onewland 16y agoLast company I worked at did nothing but that. I think it's more common in the MS/.NET world. http://accusoft.com/ http://accusoft.com/
- ptomato 16y agoWhat's your source for that?
- invisible 16y agoSo would that mean Windows is failing as well? And linux? I don't quite follow on that logic.
- easp 16y agoWell, in my view, "desktop" computing has been stagnant for a couple decades. Maybe that's too harsh. Web browsers helped move things along for a while, as did 3D gaming. But really, a UI with windows and a pointer that I interact with using a single mouse and keyboard is pretty played out.
- Rauchg 16y agoIt's also a WebDav / S3 client, and cloud-based drive emulator ala Dropbox. Good job at misrepresenting.
