Peter Howkins already explained. I'll give you a summary here;
* No debugging tools to speak of
* No memory protection makes accidental errors catastrophic
often requiring many reboots over the development of an app
* Lack of a modern API, causing many apps to require much
reinventing of the wheel
* The slowness of building software on RISC OS
(as an example, it takes my desktop Linux box 15 seconds to
build NetSurf, and tens of minutes on an Iyonix.)
So turn this around - what do we have that's useful for development?
What can be built on? What can be built on right now? That's open to
the floor.
