Macs were considered useless toys
And then Apple supplanted Sun as the biggest Unix workstation vendor on the planet, pretty ironic!
Back in the 90s I did most of my Java on Mac, using the excellent Metrowerks Codewarrior environment. It was considerably more productive than NetBeans (or whatever it was called then, I forget) on the Ultra-10 I also had on my desk. Writing was on the wall for Sun even then...
- pjmlp 9y agoSometimes I wonder how things would have looked like if they actually went forward with OpenStep. Netbeans was always called like that I think. I just remember before version 3.0, the UI was quite different, and there was this strange concept of having to mount directories to see them on the IDE.
