How many developers actually wrote code using garbage collection that had a hard time updating to ARC?


Ok well if your metric for "botched" is that developers had a hard time, the general 32-bit Carbon to 64-bit AppKit transition would have to count. :) App Sandbox perhaps too...


Not sure I'd call sandboxing a "botched transition"–many developers found it so onerous that they've been holding off on it for almost a decade :)
