![]() I think the only thing that keeps me a Mac user is I prefer MacOS to windows, and Linux just seems to much effort. The only two apps I have that are Mac only are Cheeth and Xcode. As for developing iOS apps for me at least it is painful (mostly because of Xcode which I wouldn't describe as a professional IDE), and I am only on my first one!!! Xcode is mostly awful and like much of the Apple eco systems misses out on stability and useful if uncool features in favour of flashiness, which is a shame because MacOS has some really nice features. (Though I expect to own this iMac for a number of years yet) I would be sad to leave Cheetah behind but I am not sure how much longer I can justify paying over the odds for outdated hardware. #CHEETAH3D REVIEW PLUS#Īs a long time Mac user, from its very early beginnings, going as far back as my Mac Plus and Aldus Pagemaker just out of high school, and as a professional Graphic Designer 30 years later, I always have stood by the real and obvious superiority of the Apple Operating System in design and function. Apple well understood the need of ultimate design supporting an extremely easy and logical GUI. Even to the point of not licensing its operating system in order to control and maintain Apple's core-menu consistency and "Finder" look, in the process changing the whole publishing industry by bringing along with Adobe the rise of "Destop Publishing" as well as completely changing a whole number of other industries.Īnd so it went, 10 years passed, 20 years passed. I have to agree that that is not longer the case, and hasnt been for a few years now. Perhaps that fall off the pedestal has been accelerated with the passing of Jobs, which is, I suppose, what happens when you have a highly praised and successful accountant at the helm in Cook, instead of a forward thinking technically savvy CEO. opting to do the following: Design over Function, and Profitability over Innovation. ![]() So gone is the ease of use, practicality and far reaching tools of productivity. Having said that, the Apple OS is still superior, but just marginally now, with Windows 10 finally getting itself corrected enough to make it a comparable OS in design and function. So, Im still an Apple guy, even after all its flaws, but its looking more and more as I come to the end of my career that Apple will slowly also have a slow death. #CHEETAH3D REVIEW WINDOWS#Īt least in the industry it affected most, the graphic arts.īut I understand if Martin doesnt get around to doing a Windows version. after all, what the Hell do I know about programming. I'm just a starving artist in the age of CoronaVirus. I am not sure there is much difference between self employed artist and self employed developer in the Corona-cene age. Just before I brought this iMac I had a look around for all in one (hell even the odd tower) systems and I could not find anything for a similar price with a 5K display.
