Dear Vendor
Dear vendor,
When I have to fix a difficult defect found deep within your code, I occasionally open your classes in decafe. When I see you comparing two Strings with the equality operator (==) I am appalled.
Yours sincerely,
Koz

In some controlled circumstances it is valid to use the equality (==) operator for comparing Stings as they are all placed in the String Constants pool. And for performance it is often usful. That is dangerous. But you can’t really make the call your making without at least letting us see the so called offending code
