I don't know. I only kept thinking, when I
read there, that this reminds me of this ng.
And with the postings dropping down to barely
5 a day here, I thought I'd stirr you up a
bit with this. :)
(See, this thread alone already got about as
many postings as we had here for the last two
days. <g>)

Seriously though, I don't see how that's relevant.
Seriously? OK. Look at this:
Apple recently put a lot of effort into XCode
and undoubtly tried to get people to move from
CW to it. Two years ago they stopped inviting
MW to their WWDC. So they seriously threaten
CW, who ones had the best compiler on the Mac.
OTOH, MW didn't seriously improve their IDE for
several versions, instead they suddenly dropped
Java onto their surprised customers with CW9,
stayed quiet for many months now, devided from
Greg Dow (MW chief architect for 11 years, the
brain behind PowerPlant -- he pathetically asked
if someone knew a job for him in the ng's), do
not seem to release patches anymore (9.2 was the
last), make no announcement about a next version
of their compiler/IDE, and -- invited or not --
won't even spend the money for a booth at WWDC.
To top it all off, in their ng seem to be a lot
of people really upset about all this and there
is a lot of complaints (well, if you consider that
comp.sys.mac.programmer.codewarrior is a compiler
ng, no non-tech or OT, then that /is/ a lot).
If this doesn't have any parallels to Borland, I
should probably get my head checked.

I couldn't. :)
(Our Mac guys might see this differently, though.)
