- _xgw 10y agoWhat would be the Mac design principle way of doing this then? Would every command line tool then be an Anti-Mac user interface?
- bramen 10y ago"Anti-Mac interface" doesn't seem to be pejorative in this context.
- Symmetry 10y agoMore or less helping move from 'direct manipulation' to delegation. It's not so much that this is moving away from any particular Mac principle so much as towards the sort of system outlined in that essay.
- marcosdumay 10y agoIt's an interesting proposition. A highly abstracted, very high level, very modal multi-user system where users actually interact instead of being sandboxed. Keep in mind that "anti-X" stuff tends to resemble the original "X", thus despite the antagonistic name, this is probably not as revolutionary as we will get.
