Why I Run Old System Software

[Michael Crawford]

I installed Mavericks just a few days ago because Xcode 6.0.1 requires
it.  I installed Xcode 6.0.1 because I need to know how to work with
it, as well as to develop for iOS, just to get a job as an iOS App
developer.

I don't have a problem with learning to use the latest tools.  What I
don't understand was why Xcode refused even to launch under OS X
10.8.x.

That's Just Asinine.
