What an argument. Don't kill yourselves!
The main problem is with Mac OS.

With all these resource forks, hidden data types,
opaque system, it's still more suited for word processing
than Ada programming... Even usage of Web or networks
is handicaped by that file typing (using it every day).
An iMac with Mac OS 8.5, 96MB RAM is as slow as a 486 DX 33 when
network or files are involved. No command line or programming
environment that come built-in.

Maybe Mac OS XXIII will improve that but I have doubts...
