My "type," Tulrin? Just your seventh posting here at macresource forum and already boldly going where no one has gone before...
Here's another inane comment for you: Go fsck yourself.
You as much as admitted you are a fanboi and thus far your arguments have been really weak.
Like some character out of a Kundera story you repeat the party line over and over with the conviction that it must be fact. Maybe if you repeat it enough times it will become true.

You didn't read my post, did you?
I did read the post. Your argument does not hold water.
The assertion that Mac users are forced to use Adobe products is ridiculous. They use them because they are the best choice available to fill a certain need. There are alternatives to almost every single Adobe product; many Open Source and all much cheaper... and everyone always has a choice when it comes to a product. Don't like it; don't use it.
Since the Adobe suite fills a certain need it enhances the platform by its very existence regardless of their crappy UI.

So you really do understand and appreciate Apple's position then?
I have a good idea where they are coming from, though I don't think it is a smart move... but then again I have not successfully created a computer company out of my garage... so take that for what it is worth. Let me repeat what I wrote earlier:
"Apple does not want any other company to define the framework for native iPhone applications. By allowing third-party meta-frameworks Apple runs the risk of one of them becoming the de facto development standard... as would surely happen if Adobe Flash could compile iPhone apps ( There are 2 million plus Flash developers as opposed to 100k plus iPhone developers). Apple would lose control of their own platform. It makes perfect sense from a business perspective and is well within their rights. If developers don't like it they can vote with their feet."
