I run JBuilder and CVS on both my Mac laptop and my Wintel box and use CVS to move code between them quickly and easily.
I carry a 3 button scroll mouse with my mac which works great. The Appel hardware guys may not be willing to entertain the notion of mreo then one button but the OSX guys have made OSX do everything you'ld expect if you have one.
I'm not sure I "get' the start-up time issue. The Mac VM in unique among Java VMs currently in that it shares static data between versions of the VM. Thus IME once you have a first VM up launching subsequent ones is like greased lightening. Sicne my IDE is ALREADY runnign in a VM I've fulfilled that requriement by definition.
In short I think Apple's got a lot of support for their claim that they are the "best Java desktop environment around." |
