I won't argue that COM tooling is bad - and really even the tech itself is overall more complicated than it should be, but at the end of the day between a tech with awful tooling that can do something you need and a tech with good tooling that is incapable of doing something you need, i'd still call the former overall better from a technical perspective (even if in practice i'd rather use neither).
- pjmlp 2y agoWell, I have C, JavaScript, PHP, Go in the same bucket of "awful tooling that can do something you need...", which doesn't make COM any better. Windows developers basically have no option, as since Windows Vista, most of native APIS are no longer classical Win32 C APIs, rather COM, and on top, we have to write .NET bindings by hand, because why would WinDev care about other programming stacks developed by their employer anyway.
