Like working with any other system, I suppose. There are times when I'm
disappointed at not having access to certain niceties of modern computing,
but the system is very stable and stays out of my way. It is perhaps the
most well-conceived OS to ever have been on the market. It seems to
attract a certain class of developer, too, which translates for the most
part into applications which do their job well, and work in predictable
ways.

I can't view quicktime movies or listen to real audio streams or play the
latest games or crash my browser with crappy javascript, but for the most
part I don't feel like I'm missing anything (except the quicktime
bit).

NEXTSTEP is the one system that, despite heavy use of, I have yet to be
frustrated by. That says a lot.

ok
