I have to somewhat disagree with "OSX focuses on developers" and nuance it with "OSX will pull the rug from under the developers' feet when it feels like it" (Carbon 64-bit anyone?)
With that said, I have nothing to say against this. Apple, by alienating both users & developers in specific cases, does bring the whole ecosystem forward.
My take is OSX focuses on innovation, leading the way forward, leaving behind both developers and/or users that are slow to keep up. In the big scheme of things, it has been a big win for Apple.
- vinitool76 14y agoAll i want to say is that we should take the positives from apples success and also focus on our strong points. Almost every developer or any company uses macs for Development. They can't be that bad for development can they? I am not advocating mac, I just want to say that we could learn from them.
