There is so much more they could do to make it be a real developers system. They could make the system modern. Right now there is more desktop innovation in KDE for gods sake.
- dewey 8y agoWhat are you missing that doesn't make it a "real developer system"? Can't say I ever got stopped by macOS. It mostly stays out of the way.
- pknopf 8y agoDeveloping on Mac? Not so bad. Developing for Mac? Abismal.
- matthewmacleod 8y agoI loved developing Mac apps. It was awesome. iOS is even better, so as a shared platform grows I'm excited about the prospect of more native Mac apps becoming available. What do you feel is the problem? Primarily Xcode? I hear many people have issues with it, though I've not been a heavy enough user to notice anything particularly problematic.
- pknopf 8y agoApple's platforms are amazing, but fragile. API's constantly change. And even if they don't, they functionally behave different. You just can't release an app without constant maintenance. Apple has no problem innovating, even if it means pulling every developer along with them, ready or not.
- saagarjha 8y agoMuch of Cocoa has been the same, or almost the same, for over fifteen years. Foundation hasn’t change core API for decades.
- IOT_Apprentice 8y agoSo KDE Plasma 5.12 LTS, is the most innovative desktop? Reviewing their video on it did not blow me away at all.
- some_account 8y agoUse it. It's really nice on a high resolution desktop :)
