OS X was going great until an OS upgrade meant no more 32bit apps. Utterly unforgivable.

It’s the OS equivalent of making an unrepairable device. Linux and the piles of mutant userspace hanging off of it may well be pretty inconsistent and janky, but you can actually take a wrench to them — they are repairable.

(Solved my problem by running a win32 version of my app instead, in 32bit Wine on Debian.)

Some people are happy to lease a Hyundai for 3 years. I’m more into owning my own bikes, and doing all my own maintenance :)
