What is better or worse is a matter of opinion, I think. I have used FB on Windows and Mac, and it really doesn't matter. I've switched to the Mac, as a developer, fulltime, and I'm having no problems, it's solid. It seems to me that the biggest problems people have are more about which version of the library/player/AIR they are using than FB.
I say choose the OS you like, and get Flex, FB or not. You're not getting dinged here. Personally, I'd choose the Mac in a heartbeat. ________________________________ From: Jim Hayes <j...@primalpictures.com> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, December 29, 2008 4:04:20 AM Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Any Developers on a Mac? General platform discussions aside, what is it that makes flexbuilder “slightly worse” on mac than it is in windows? I’m considering trying out a macbook pro as my next laptop (been on windows, sometimes linux, for past ten years or so), butmost of my work is in flexbuilder these days so it would be nice to know.

Kevlar suit... *check*! It's good. I'm happy with it, many people are. I think it's much better, many people agree. And many *other* people here will call me a big girl for thinking so. Which I find hilarious. But this is a well-abused topic here. Builder is slightly better in Windows. in my opinion everything else is better on Mac :) -Josh On Mon, Dec 29, 2008 at 8:24 PM, composerguru <kbmulvihill@ gmail.com> wrote: I'm thinking of converting now that I've dumped Vista... just wondering what your experience might be and if you recommend the change?
