On Windows it's always been terrible. The Mac frameworks are pretty solid.

Guessing you never directly programmed such frameworks. Back in the day, writing multimedia for Windows was a nightmare... especially if you wanted to do things like play multiple videos in sync with a common master clock. QuickTime was the only way to do it reasonably.

Nope, I thankfully never had to do this for Windows, but I can imagine your pain!
