Mac Port

[GDizzle]

Why has all around automations not created a port for mac? I love their product, but we have moved to mac, like many organizations. I'm sure it's still not the dominate market among database administrators, but more and more developers are moving to mac. I would love to see you guys put together a port. The other solutions available just don't compare.

There is simply not a big market on the Mac for Oracle development tools.

I agree that it's not as big as the windows environment, especially among DBAs, but to say it's not a big market is a dated statement. For example, in the past two years we have transitioned almost our entire IT department to mac (about 95% of us use mac). We have around 200 developers and that is just my company. If you have been watching the development community of other languages there is a huge migration going on right now to mac and like many other developers, we aren't all just exclusively single language developers. We write both java and plsql (plus others).

While I agree that it isn't AS big, it's growing and would be nice to see AllRoundAutomations to build to this platform.

Also, should be noted that the trend is growing. 19 quarters in a row now the mac market has outgrown the pc market...not even close. Time to get with the times boys!
