Is Mac OS is not Java-friendly?

Mac OS is not Java-friendly. It doesn’t support any wireless toolkits, so no Java ME development is possible, and the recent decision to drop the Cocoa bindings sends the clear message that Apple doesn’t care about Java. I want to work on a Java-friendly operating system. http://beust.com/weblog/archives/000411.html

I’m still reluctant to buy a shiny new MacBookPro because I keep seeing comments from developers that they have a very hard time switching. What is your take?

  1. Who cares if OSX is Java Friendly or not… Java sucks. :P

  2. Solaris, Windows, Linux . Even though other OSes have “official” binaries in my experience they have been unstable or slow. Not bad enough to force me to switch my Desktop at home from FreeBSD yet but it did at work.
