"The many superpowers of Apple’s Preview (here and here) does justice to the app’s power and flexibility. Read it and join me in my appreciation for this labor of love from a solo, unnamed programmer who, I’m told, has been at it since the NeXT days."
Preview is one app that is a source of constant admiration and consistency that makes using OS x that much easier. Maybe a single excellent developer can make better call in terms of consistency because applying similar pattern across board is natural where doing so for more than one person requires a whole lot more effort? (communication, keeping up with a style etc.) While on the same subject can there be some way to make reusable components for visual intefaces ala unix commanline and pipes. If so then developers can do well developing bits of code, each doing one thing well and let users construct their own "solutions"
