Good svn client like tortoise.

 

We have alternatives like scplugin / svnx / eclipse subversion plugin .

All are disappointing compared to tortoise..

 

There is a promising program on the horizon though: versions. But versions
in beta and it's commercial (no price known yet)

For me that's the biggest drawback.

 

Hmmm  now im thinking about it.. also no java 6 on os 10.4. which is a pain
in the ass (I'm still on 10.4 and don't have the time to upgrade). 

But if you switch to mac now you'll have no problems course.

You will have a 64-bit processor and osx 10.5 so 64-bit version of java 6 is
available.

 

Furthermore you'll have to get use to no cut/paste files (or is this fixed
in leopard? Anyone? ) which is very irritating.

Also inside the open file dialogs you can't delete / remove files, something
I used to do al lot on windows: Opening a file,

seeing another file is redundant and removing it on the fly before opening
the file I wanted to open in the first place. The finder in general is not
very nice imho 

It has the irritating stupid column view etc. and I can''t find the setting
for always open the finder in a specific view mode. But maybe in osx 10.5
many things are better in the finder

 

Also the best open source actionscript editor around is not natively
supported on the mac: FlashDevelop, but you can run it in parallels.

I use flex builder nowadays so it's not a real problem..

 

and finally no icons in context menu's so finding the stuff you need in
those is slower. I always have to look longer than necessary. c'm on steve
give us icons!

 

but for the rest it's awesome. Can't give you all the benefits as it would
be too much typing :-)

So even if this post sounds negative: for me.. No way back! Love my mac. 

 

And about $$ I really think you get good value for you money..

I'm very close to switching to Mac OS X. Any drawbacks from people? Other
than $$? ;)

Well at this point I'm thinking about keeping my MacOS and partitioning the
HDD. I guess it's nice to have options. Thanks everyone! The XFL sounds
awesome, I wonder if FCSH will be able to compile it when the time comes?

Ubuntu is definitely amazing, but atm I don't see a better workflow to
produce graphical elements than publishing a SWC from Flash CS3.

I'm using VirtualBox to run seemlesly enough a basic Windows XP with
CS3 and FlashDevelop. It works quite fine (just avoid VirtualBox's
virtual shares) but it requires a decent computer with a lot of RAM.

Cheers
