How? Protection against something for 99% of users causes inconvenience to 1%. Maybe. But it makes the platform more useful for those 99% who make up the economic ecosystem for the 1% using osx for profit.
Protection of the apps folder is great.
- djacobs 15y agoAs I say, taking steps that make life harder for engineers & techies will eventually drive us away. I'm pretty sure that Apple has been successful because it's fostered a developer community, and if it stops fostering that, it's success could be a very reversible phenomenon.
- ethank 15y agoBut again: how is it driving you away? Apple dogfoods everything they do internally and evidence points to their 5000+ engineers being more picky than anyone. Marble (Xcode 4) is evidence of this. If anything, making an Os more suited for the average user is better for the dev community at large. Not worse.
