Open source piece of crap will smell just the same. If there are serious problems in Xcode open sourcing it will only amplify them since a lot of the stuff will be fix by people without deep knowledge of the codebase and probably introduce some new.
Keep in mind - I am not pro or against open sourcing it - just I don't think it will help currently at all.
- dreweckert 7y agoWhat reasoning do you have to say that open sourcing it would amplify problems because it allows it to be fixed by people without deep knowledge of the codebase? So confused by how enabling someone to see the source code will somehow hurt the code that would still be maintained by apple. It would still be up to them on whether or not to include a fix that was proposed by someone that viewed their code and tried to fix it. Also, I think that fresh eyes on a problem can be quite beneficial. I believe a tunnel vision can occur when one group of individuals are trying to fix the same problems for years.
