[swift-users] Swift and Xcode along with Playgrounds is full of bugs

[Shyamal Chandra]

Hi Adam,

What are you talking about?  If swift.org bug reporting doesn't work, where
do you go?  You pay money for support but you don't get that from Apple.
That's unprofessional by Apple; not my complaint that they don't handle the
bug reports in a timely-fashion.

Thanks!

Best,
