What I don't understand is why are people complaining. If you
don't like a piece of software, don't use it.
If you need Xplatform (and/or a non C based language) which
includes the Mac there is not much choice... but have you ever
considered that some who complain do so because they like a lot
about RB but find it's bugs (and framework limitations and
XPlatfrom inconsistencies) extremely frustrating and just want it
to improve ASAP to help improve their productivity... In other
words they complain because they DO like it and WANT to be better
to be able to use it more efficiently?

well, at best this is misinformed and wastefull of their time. if
they are genuinely complaining to make the product better, they have
a few forums to talk directly to RB about their qualms - feedback and
the developers program. hell, i doubt your emails direct to geoff
would bounce. posting here does nothing except copy your message 50k
times and put it in all our inboxes to deal with. i dont care if RB
doesnt work for you... im sure many others feel the same way. so
your desired results just aint there.
also... (and this is a devil's argument) if they genuinely want to
help foster growth in RB, adding to the constant low hum of 'RB is
horrible!' that permeates this list can't be in their best interest.
I have two friends who looked into RB but never really tried it
because they thought the consensus was it's a poorly supported,
buggy, immature language. It should be mentioned this was not
snobbery - i've since conned both of them into helping me with some
opensource projects, and they now LOVE rb.
the only people reading this list are customers and potential
customers. the fact that every week a list of 'better alternatives'
is posted cant legitimately be seen as the work of a concerned citizen.
