I continue to look for a better environment. I too see many changes and wonder how can I still keep up with my language of choice (Python at the moment and Dabo). Apple appears to be a platform that is growing but is also changing. Should I run out and buy objective-C books??? The whole thing is a real pain!

For the moment I'm doing OK using Dabo with it's cross platform framework.
