I know I don't want to have anything to do with that closed system. I am truly amazed at how many of the geeks I know actually bought one. I mean it seems like great hardware, but no way I want to get locked into _any_ of apples products. I lose respect for every geek that buys one. (talk about ow, yeah I said it... but I guess they're not reading here anyway)...
And back on topic. I think that the 2008.08 is definitely a major step forward. I have been using it since that morning and have found it to be better than all the others. I think their idea of telling people this is the most stable is because they want everybody on the same page and right now this is it. No sense wondering, "should I stick with 2007.02 or ASU or ..." This is the best we have, please try it... I think the key thing other than documenting its _beta_ or _developer only_ state is to start improving the build process so that everyone [most of us] can dive right in and get going helping out. I really want to help out, but with limited time, I would do a lot better if we had a very easy way to get started doing the development. being able to follow a _simple_ recipe for getting started and running a single script, or make, rake, etc for doing the build would be great. And I think creating everything to work with Eclipse, a _free_ and very _open_ IDE would be a great place to do this. Here's to checking out a git version of the project and opening it in Eclipse and compiling it! Thanks again, Geoff
