This product may die, however I believe competition and the fire to get what you want is more valuable than king making through bad reviews (whether intentional or unintentional). Tbh, Im not going to look at the product because Im more interested in terminal editors at the moment. But criticism should be used to enhamce a product, not degrade the blood sweat and tears that went into it
I applaud effort. I just feel there's some glaring gaps that make alarms go off. I'm sharing those. I know this looks fantastic, but that's when I start checking for a venire. And when I do, those smells popped up.
Facebook releases so fast. So when something is brand new and it's already not using the latest, I feel afraid.
The example project doesn't use the import syntax, it's using require, and feels like it's coming from ECMA5 in a brand new video. I just worry, can they keep up? Facebook releases breaking changes often so it's a valid concern.
Facebook, as well as most of the code out there, is still using CommonJS, since there are very real issues with ES6 modules that are still unresolved[1]
I think "irrelevant" is a poor choice of words here.
It is VERY relevant that there is a workaround. Additionally, it's kind of unfair to point at 1 bug (that has a workaround) and judge an entire system on it.
You basically just said "No, you" and then posted some links to logical fallacies. Care to address my argument more directly? The key problem here is that while this bug that may have a workaround (and that workaround is questionable to even work in all cases), it's that the bug does not manifest itself in a development environment, and occurs when you write code naturally. So, you are likely to introduce the bug, but you don't get to know you have crash issues all over your app until you ship it to a lot of users. This, combined with the App Store review delay process, results in a situation where this platform is not tenable for professional software developers to use.
edit: Laurent (RubyMotion lead) has chimed in and raised the priority of this issue, this is great news
