Arg. Ya know what? I'm about done with the freakin' Mac. I went to install some Catalyst modules, and somehow its CPAN config has gotten mucked up. The filesystem isn't case sensitive. It uses funky names for stuff ("/Users" rather than "/home"). You never know where development libraries got installed to, and it's rarely as simple as adding "-l libname
to your gcc
command line. Copy and paste between X apps and native apps is annoying. Its terminal and xterm both consistently get the delete key mapping wrong. The stupid dock and the menu bar are just topping on the cake.
Windows has its own set of problems, but I really really really hope that at some point fairly soon we get started on the Linux port, 'cause this just isn't up to contemporary professional standards.
