Initially I was kinda upset over the transition but now that I have very solid remote solutions in place for Windows & Linux I actually don't care that much.
In the years following though Apple has really proved themselves though in having the most competent OS imo and they can risk switching architectures. Had Apple not done that then I think they'd still be languishing in obscurity to this day - particularly with the mass number of devs they have now on their platform.Įven if an ARM architecture would have been ready for them to jump from PowerPC to ARM back in the day they'd have skipped over an entire generation of devs that switched to macOS or OSX at the time BECAUSE it was intel and they could finally play nice with Windows and Linux if wanted or desired. I used to emulate PowerPC on x86 too before Apple released 10.4 Tiger on x86 officially and it was such a night and day difference to finally have a native port to x86. Clearly it can be done better when you know your APIs well like Apple and MS do and they can write software layers to handle x86 compiled exe's - doing that to an entire OS is impractical though. Just the reality of going cross architecture with an entire OS.
