Not presumptuous.
From your previous message I got the impression that the number of
home-brewers on the list is relatively small.
I'm wondering: home-brewers / professional developers on the list < 1? < 0.1?
By home-brewers I mean amateurs developing for their own use.
1. I develop in-house software for my language school; all programs
running on either Linux
(Ubuntu) or Mac OS 10.4.
2. I develop a piece of commercial software (Devawriter Pro) for
Macintosh and Windows,
and, ultimately, Linux.
All my software development is done in my bedroom.
Does that make me a home-brewer?
Certainly seems that your categories are a bit too neat, and have too
sharply defined boundaries
to make sense in the real world.
Home-brewers don't normally work cross-platform. Professional developers
usually do, I suppose.
Is LC the preferred tool for non-pros developing for their own use? If not then
what is?
Cheers,
Tim
