Apple limits 3rd party dev tool vendor access
[::digg_button::]
"This includes ending the special lunchtime sessions (where many a developer ran off with T-shirts) and the popular 'Birds of a Feather' evening sessions that was running for the past two years. They are relegated to the vendor booths, which ends Wednesday at 6:00PM."
"In talking with the folks at the Metrowerks (who were surprised at this sudden turn of events), they told me that they were not even allowed to be on stage at any session this year, as Apple has felt that their Project Builder app had constantly been shown up by CodeWarrior. This will be the first WWDC since 1995 in which Metrowerks has had no stage presence to announce their products."
"The folks at RealBasic seem to be taking it in stride, although still dissappointed at not being able to talk directly to the developers as they had in the past three years."

So what if CodeWarrior shows up Project Builder? Project builder is free after all, though really good for a free development environ. If CodeWarrior is better, let developers buy it who will benefit and produce better or less expensive code.

Maybe, just maybe, this WWDC is supposed to be the Apple & IBM wedding/honeymoon.
You don't invite your ex girlfriend to your wedding.

As for the keynote, it was 2 hours in length already. It wouldn't make sense to have Metrowerks take more time to talk about the advancements in CW 9, which aren't that big anyhow.
