request: Objective-C
« on: January 15, 2012, 09:39:31 pm »
as EA is running fine with CrossOver on the Mac, it would be nice to have Objective-C support as a supported language. Especially as there is no solution available on the Mac supporting UML, Objective-C and providing a intuitive GUI.

Best regards

You mean EA provides an "intuitive" GUI? As a Mac-Developer? Would you be so kind to go back to windoze development?

No, I would not go back to windows. However looking at the GUI of some Eclipse based UML tools I like the EA GUI

So which intuitive UML Tool are using on Mac OS X then?

Note that I don't mean a tools which can draw a few rectangles but one with round trip code engineering.

I chew the bullet - and run EA on Parallels...

But as it's a windoze "app" it doesn't hurt so much. It's windoze. So what?

I never would say that EA's GUI is intuitive. It's absolutely inconsistent in almost all perspectives. OTOH this is kind of nice as it hides a lot of easter eggs which when found make the finder happy.

But again. It's windoze. Don't get me started with that "GUI". I had an Atari running in late 80's which had a GUI far better than anything the windozers delivered up to mid of the last decade.

Indeed, you are not the only one.

Sad enough. Fan boys started to be those having loud fans in their ugly PCs with DOS prompts and green monitors. Something must have gone wrong.
