"He has not designed a single project" is a bit of a strawman argument. What Jobs does is focus a team of designers and engineers on creating a product that is really satisfying to use. It doesn't sound like much, but if it's easy, how come no company but Apple seems to be able to do it?
Anyway here is a Mac application that applies some of Jef Raskin's ideas to a finder alternative: http://www.raskinformac.com/ http://www.raskinformac.com/

It's unfortunate that the article omits this bit of context from the original interview in Programmers at Work. He's not saying that Jobs is without merit, just that he steals credit from those to whom it rightfully belongs.
