Apple’s declining software quality
There&#x27;s just no way in hell Steve Jobs would be putting up with this and I wish he was alive to tear some people a new one. I didn&#x27;t like Jobs but respect his ability to achieve things.<p>Perhaps, the years of oversimplifying applications has created an Apple that can&#x27;t handle complex applications?<p>Or, there&#x27;s a chicken and egg question: XCode and the surrounding tools are atrociously buggy and hostile to the developer and it seems to increase with each release. Is this a symptom of what&#x27;s going on inside Apple or a cause - perhaps Apple&#x27;s own developers are dealing with the same hellish development experience and are just happy when something can compile without crashing Xcode.<p>Or, perhaps, at some point, software becomes too complex for humans to deal with.<p>Windows got so much flack over the years. It wasn&#x27;t the prettiest but it worked and did what it said. Sure it BSODed sometimes and had some memory problems but it handles infinity more hardware&#x2F;software&#x2F;driver situations than OS X. Visual Studio is a dream, if you&#x27;re into that ecosystem. MS dev tools are actually very nice.
