I think most of the comments on this are secretely fueled by the idea that the mac is going away. I used to fret until I switched to Windows. Now I don't really care. I think Apple doesn't care for you guys either. As soon as XCode is ported to the iPad, it's a goodbye to all the rest of devs in the world. I just hope you're prepared for that.
Life after the mac is not that bad. I miss some nice stuff, but the esentials are there.
- screye 7y agoIt takes a long time on windows to find the right 3rd party software combination to make for a painfree and seamless workflow. But, once it is done, Windows feels like a very complete OS. A lot of window's problems seem very solvable on the surface. Some have been solved well by aforementioned 3rd party applications, but I still find myself pulling hairs when some others seem so easy to solve, yet no one has solved them. I sometimes wish I was a Windows app developer with a lot of time on my hands, and no need for money. There are so many little things that once fixed, would drastically improve the UX...with so little effort. It's like how reddit is a 100x better with RES, which is built by 1 guy. But a company worth $2 billion can't offer the same features natively.
