Yes precisely. I’m sure this varies from person to person but the applications that have the most staying power in my tool belt by far are those that are well executed first class citizens of my platform of choice. Cross platform apps written by developers who are more concerned with an easy one size fits all solution nearly always fall to the wayside.
I chose the platform I use for a reason. Why should I be ok with apps that undermine that by taking the lowest common denominator approach to porting?
- falcolas 8y agoInteresting. As a counterpoint, if I look at the toolkit I'm using right now on my MacBook, it's: Chrome Firefox Hipchat Vim Git So, not one single-platform tool in the bunch. I'd even go so far to say that, aside from my terminal emulator and app install tool, I don't use any single-platform tools in my day to day job. > Why should I be ok with apps that undermine that by taking the lowest common denominator approach to porting? Because they're, in many cases, as good if not better than the native-only alternatives?
- kitsunesoba 8y agoI guess it depends on what types of apps one tends to use and what work you do. While I make frequent use of the terminal, I live in UI apps all day, so bad ports tend to stick out more prominently. If I lived in vim or emacs I could see it not mattering as much.
