'macOS' is just too much of an affectation to ask for in styling capitalization. You'll notice a lot of people resisting it, defiantly writing 'MacOS'.

- terinjokes 10y agoWhen you have a name for over a decade, you tend to have it hard coded in a bunch of places...
- Ultra_64 10y agoOn the other hand, the official name was 'Mac OS X' until 2012.
- eridius 10y agoSure, but it was nearly always just referred to as "OS X", so the official renaming in 2012 was just moving it in line with how people already referred to it.
- draw_down 10y agoYeah, my company moved offices a few months back and we had the old location in a surprising number of places around the codebase.
- Bud 10y agoNot really. "iOS" is standard and no resistance has been noted.
- tedmiston 10y agoLowercased i titles are / were / have been common and comfortable though. Some of them even before iOS.
- notmything 10y agoSo if one thing is true then other similar things must be true!!!
- hultner 10y agoNo resistance is overstepping, as far as I remember a few had a hard time foregoing iPhone OS initially. But that's maybe not what you're talking about.
- astrodust 10y agoTraditionally "Mac OS" -> "[Mac] OS X" -> "macOS" It was often compacted to MacOS for various reasons, like brevity, keyword searchability and tagging.
