Are Mac aliases any easier/better than symlinks in this regard? Does OSX provide any help in keeping track and managing them to take the burden off the programmer?
Aliases are worse because these can encapsulate stuff like “to resolve, mount this disk image”, which is why the conceptual model for links (including aliases) is that a link is something you actively resolve once and then go to this new location.
