It opens a whole new world of possibilities. I also love have UI writing competions against my c++ coworkers. "Oh, that dialog box is going to take you a week", poor muffin.

I used to be a total Emacs/C++ guy, but with Eclipse/Java (or VS/C#, for that matter), I feel like I'm on another planet in terms of productivity. Especially with all the refactoring goodness. @rob: Old habits die hard, I guess.

There is a large Apple community on this forum here in Australia, with some very talented developers lurking about. Elan, do you mind if I link there to releases and updates on here?

My intentions were purely to help "the cause" by further publicizing XBMC, and in particular the OS X port which has been where my personal interest lies since I switched to the Mac. As Elan says the opening paragraph was written by me, and perhaps I worded it clumsily and should have made it more clear that OS X is one part of a huge award winning open source project. Automated Home has covered XBMC for many years now, we are huge fans and we are always willing to help in any way we can so if there’s anything else we can do or cover, please get in touch.

This is stated numerous times in the interview. Everyone here on this blog knows that XBMC was written over many years by many talented coders working all over the world, all of whom I have the deepest respect for and have very much enjoyed working with. That having been said, I've asked that the first paragraph of the interview (which I didn't write) be changed to more clearly explain the fact that what we're doing is a port, and Barkley didn't write the entire media centre himself.
