Wow, don't agree with that. I always thought Intuition the nicest GUI I ever programmed. It was beautifully designed. ADos was a mess obviosuly. And rather limited compared to what we're used to now.
I remember at the end of the Amiga days buying a PC, Petzold, Visual Studio and MASM. Worked through Peztold, by the end and after porting one of my simpler amiga apps, there was so much swearing and disbelief at how Windows did dozens of things, and my app was now 40x larger with all the shite you needed, just to accept a resize message or somesuch that I sold VC, MASM and the book to some random guy at work and never touched Windows programming wise ever again. Pc had been reinstalled with FreeBSD within weeks too.
That was the moment I became a server side developer. :) Played with X a little, but wasn't a huge fan of that either, but it didn't produce the same level of swearing Windows had. Never did any real dev on OSX with the GUI, so don't know.
