@louie With the Apple Vision Pro, iPhone Air, iPhone Duo, Apple HomeView and touch screen MacBook Pro, I see a list of products that don't sell in huge numbers, which will receive half hearted support from software developers, and be discontinued in the future.

I don't see Swift and the overall experience of developing for the Apple ecosystem attracting new developers. MacOS feels neglected, and reporting bugs to Apple is a horrible, unrewarding experience compared to open source projects.

@jgrg @louie I’d also prefer it if they focused on macOS and started refining it. That Liquid Glass is awful… But Apple is a publicly listed company. It has to make a profit and be innovative. Fixing the shortcomings in macOS won’t bring in any financial profit.

@bstn I don’t know what obligation you think exists for companies that are publicly traded.
