>Why anyone would needlessly ignore market segments by using a compiler that
only runs on one proprietary OS is baffling to me.
In one of the fields I follow, the market leader won't write a Linux client,
until objective data demonstrates that Linux has at least 30% market share, in
the desktop market. Their theory is that it simply isn't worth the time and
effort writing a client for a desktop that has no visible usage. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Where did you have to pay $100 for access to the OS X APIs? And why are you
conflating the IDE with the APIs? Xcode is the IDE; the Frameworks are the
APIs.
Xcode used to come free on an auxiliary disc, or a separate folder from the main
system install, with each OS X release or Macintosh system restore disc set.
Now it's in the App Store and shows "Price: Free".
Please, let's pick on companies for the things they are actually doing wrong;
there's plenty to choose from.
