what do developers care, they all got 16 core opterons with 32 GB of RAM as their desktops at work.
The answer to that depends upon which set of developers you are talking about:
- If you mean the developers of the IDE:
they should care because there is no way for them to reason about the interactions between all those threads and components.
And no way on earth to to test them all.
- And for developers using Komodo (or thinking of doing so):
They should care because becoming dependent upon that product for their livelihood, is like becoming dependent upon an F1 racing car for their daily commute.
By F1 standards, modern F1 cars are incredibly reliable -- they'll mostly complete a 2 hour drive without non-driver induced failures -- but they still require a support team of around 30 people and a lot of ancillary equipment just to get them to fire up in the mornings.
I don't want to be dependent upon that level of complexity for my daily crust; nor require that level of expertise when things go wrong. And you know they will.
