CodeWarrior saved Apple's bacon in many respects.
But, since they were a third party they were not always right up to
date with support in their tools for the latest and greatest from
Apple either.
The OS vendor is really about the only one that will be up to date
with their tools regardless of whether the most popular tool is from
someone else or not.
Apple's business is not to support or prop up someone else; it's
hardware and software that they make and sell.
REAL is a co-conspirator then ?
RB 5.5.5 runs dandy on my iBook G4 933.
RB 2005 and 2006 are significantly slower on the exact same system.
RB 2005/2006 were built in REALbasic -- 5.5 was not. I think that
explains it.
5.5 was a C/C++ app (which gets this back to why C/C++ apps feel
faster than RB apps)
2005/2006 are RB apps
...that do a lot more than did the Rb 5.5 IDE.
