In C# I think MS has the nicest language of the three and I can't imagine Visual Studio is as bad as Xcode 4. I'm keeping a close eye on the WP market. If sales pick up at all I'm going to try my hand at a few apps. iOS is stagnating and the app market is absurdly oversaturated and Android is still the public access television of mobile.
- patrickk 15y agoI've used both visual studio (express) and Xcode 3. I much prefer visual studio. Your point about C# vs. Objective-C is an important one that may have been glossed over somewhat. I can't bear Objective-C, I find it's syntax highly confusing and difficult to parse (my own subjective opinion). C# is much more pleasant. Microsoft could win over developers because of this if they are smart about it. Now only if I could write apps in Python...!
- cageface 15y agoI don't personally mind Obj-C but there's really no reason to write most apps in a language with so much exposure to all the low-level nastiness of C. You can currently write iOS apps in C# with Mono but my initial experiments in that direction suggested to me that it was too far out on the limb for comfort.
