In what concerns 10.11 no, it isn't a case of just one developer. There are many developers with their plug-ins broke (mainly, the problems is confined with AU, which, BTW, is Apple's platform), there are problems with USB, and there are problems with several hosts too (Steinberg advised to hold from upgrading for the moment, and even Finale, which is usually peaceful, has issues with the current OS). So, are you sure you can still blame developers for that? Did all of them become incompetent all of a sudden?masterhiggins wrote:If 95% of my plugins work perfectly and one dev's plugin doesn't, why would I question the platform? Doesn't it make more sense that it's dev's fault? That's my case with a certain dev. Actually, every Mac user I know has trouble with their plugins. Every other dev's plugins work perfectly.PurpleSunray wrote:I disagree.Zaphod (giancarlo) wrote:Customers judge a product just from the user perspective: does it work, or not. Is reaper any better?

Pretty much all Apple users I know are 110% convinced about being on the best platform available. Apple stuff costs more than other, so it must be better.
They usually do not question their platform in a way like "my plugins to not work anymore, should I switch to windows?", but more like "my plugins to not work anymore, f**k that devs, going to buy my plugins from another company now".
That's something that amazes me. In Windows, every time there is a problem, almost everyone blames the OS. On the Mac, every time there is a problem, almost everybody blames the third party developers.
