Classic example of a business sacrificing long term gains for short term gains. Sure they gain money by doing this via google or whatever. But in the long run

Classic example of a business sacrificing long term gains for short term gains. Sure they gain money by doing this via google or whatever. But in the long run, well, this is why there is no Apple developer ecosystem.
- dmix 18y agoThis is why there is no Apple developer ecosystem. Is this a known fact or your personal opinion? I only develop for the web but I always thought Apple had strong support from developers which is why it has some of the best designed software.
- wizlb 18y agoIt's fairly well known that Apple has a very small developer base and that they treat developers poorly in a number of ways. For one, they've been known to break backwards compat. like it's nobody's business. Sure, a lot of nix people use Macs now, but ask them if they're developing software for the Mac OS. Most likely, the answer is no. They're doing nix stuff. Compare the Apple developer "ecosystem" to that of the Windows and Linux world. Can you see any big differences?
- anewaccountname 18y agoYeah I can see a difference--Linux breaks backwards compatibility way more than Apple =P.
