So, for those of you who are staying with RB (that is to say, not
climbing the steep learning curve towards Xcode) why is that?
I tried Cocoa around 10.0 and 10.1 and I didn't get it... of course I
didn't understand programming at all then and realized that I needed
to take classes in C/C++. When I finished with my classes, I decided
to try REALbasic again instead of C/C++ or Cocoa mostly because I
wanted the cross-platform capabilities.
Ease of use?
Cross platform ability?
Yes, those are the two main reasons that I like REALbasic. I also
haven't run into a programming challenge that I haven't been able to
work out with REALbasic or a plugin.
The Xcode package is tight, to be sure, and from most comments it
seems that RB has some known bugs and performance issues.
Something must be keeping people here! :-)
Just curious.
I haven't run across the performance issues that others complain
about and I have been using REALbasic 2005 since the first beta
running on a 1.5 GHz G4 PowerBook with *only* 512 MB of system
memory... of course all of my projects files are less than 2 MB.
With regards to bugs, yes there are a number which I would like to
see fixed but I don't have any show stoppers in my list. I suppose
that if you work in areas that REALbasic is not quite as developed or
working with partly implemented new features that it could be
frustrating, but I tend to work in the well-used (and refined) areas.
