Oh For Elephant | [mastadon] s Sake!

Is maintaining a consistent narrative for the entire length of a single article (never mind an entire publication), now too much work to be bothered with.

At the start of that embarrassment, the author notes that VS for Mac is just a rebadged version of the Xamarin tools having nothing in common with VS (for Windows) except the name and then goes on about how VS being legacy code full of Windows native tech at every level is effectively impossible to port to a different OS. Then at the end they point to VS for Mac as proof that none of those limitations actually matter.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
--Zachris Topelius
