You've got to be kidding?  Just because you have some interactive
debugging tools thrown into Borland C++ (a good portion of which are
now integrated into edit/Project manager) your going to call that a
better DEVELOPEMENT platform?!!!

Aint no way.  Maybe its better for debugging (which I still might
argue), but definatly not development.  Make two identical apps on DOS
and on a NeXT; the NeXT version will be done faster, and with more
features.  The fact that a particular compilations takes less time on
DOS machine is not relevant because the overall time of DEVELOPMENT
will be significantly greater on a DOS platform.  Not to mention that
the NeXT has a lot more to compile with included appkit stuff; on DOS
you compile only what you've coded.

Also as far as debugging goes-In edit you can now see runtime realtime
object and instances of an app, just by ckicking through a browser
(this is a real object benefit).  Its much like appinspector but
integrated.

Well thats my $0.02.

later, John
