Although to be fair I suppose the QC OpenCL CPU bug could also be ATI driver related, or does it also go wrong on machines with Intel graphics?

Anyways my words were probably ott, sorry about that, I just find it more than a tad ironic that a technology such as OpenCL which amongst other things is supposed to shield programmers from the specifics of a users hardware to a certain extent, ends up not working right on a lot of hardware configurations. I guess this stuff probably wont matter too much in the longrun as it will be quite some time before programmers can assume that most users have reasonably powerful OpenCL- capable GPUs to take advantage of, but its still a shame.

Yes, I should have ben clearer that I was referring more to the Quartz Composer specific issues such as the CPU OpenCL bug, and various other things that made the Snow Leopard launch a bit weird from a QC perspective (lack of samples on website, missing polish).

Personally Ive always loved QC and I wasnt bitten hard by these issues, its just as time passes I start to lose faith a bit.

As for ATI driver issues, they were causing me pain on Windows PCs a decade ago so Ive always had a fairly low regard for ATI cards and try to avoid them when possible.
