The main point I tried to make, but apparently muddied through subpar writing, was that visionOS ultimately is an operating system more akin to iPadOS than macOS, which I think ultimately results in people being less able to deeply understand the inner workings and of the computer.
An iOS-like operating system aims to abstract away file systems, how software runs and leaves the user merely running apps.
You can use a code editor to write code on iOS or iPadOS, but you wouldn’t be able to run that software outside of that code editor on the device. You couldn’t use it to build an application binary / executable with it to be run directly on the device.
I did not aim to make any points about the development experience for building apps for the Vision Pro. Rather about the restrictive nature of the operating system when using the Vision Pro as a primary computing device.
As mentioned elsewhere, next time I’ll make the post more informative and less a quick “does anyone else feel this way too?”, as I see that this does not fit the standards of the HN audience.
