@louie @bstn Apple is not short of profits. They could spend a little more of those profits caring for MacOS, which is foundational in their ecosystem. It is where developers write software for their other platforms.

@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.
