Im aware that the current finder is based on the Carbon API and I was wondering if Apple is currently rewriting the finder in Cocoa? Im looking forward to the an reaction lever up to par with to OS 9.1 at the least.
I don't know if I agree with that one (depends on the developer, I guess) but the rest I agree with. Think about MacOSX without Carbon - Photoshop wouldn't be ported, no MS Office, Illustrator, Freehand, Quark or Maya, the only web browser would be OmniWeb, which great as it is just plain doesn't work with many sites... Apple tried to push a Cocoa-only OS with Rhapsody, but Mac developers weren't interested. There was an article by someone at Omni stating that Carbon was THE most important aspect of OSX, which coming from someone as involved with Cocoa as Omni is saying a lotIt is better than Cocoa from a developer's standpoint.
Another great example of why strobe is the life of the party. Come on people, give the man a hand! Always a pleasure to have you chime in strobe.Originally posted by strobe
I think you Cocoa proponents need to shut the hell up...
