I have been looking at MS Visual Studio for some time
and
NOT buying mainly because it seems like there is no choice
in the matter. Where are the other good prog. environments?
The ad for MS VStudio shows a guy with serious posture
problems (get it? No backbone.) and I'm not too ready for
that experience. Sun/Solaris/Intel has been phased out.
Phillippe is sleeping with the starfishes.
I guess that leaves only something for Linux.
Well... its for the Mac, but can do Win32 as well... I use REALbasic.
Think of it as a Mac version of MS Visual Basic, without the MS
attachments.
You write everything on the Mac, and it will compile for Mac PPC (Classic
and Carbon), and Win32. (The v5 due out some time next year will have a
Windows IDE so you can write on Win and compile for all 3 like you can
currently do on the Mac). They claim future versions will be able to
compile for Linux and PalmOS as well.
All in all, it isn't a bad getup.
