I miss the NeXTSTEP menus, that Mac toolbar is horrid on large monitors. Also, the Finder is a poor second compared to Workspace Manager. The lack of EOF and the Digital Librarian is painful.
- sgt 8y agoThe Mac toolbar is thin and neat - not sure how that qualifies as "horrid"? I am using a 27" monitor.
- protomyth 8y agoI have a 34” monitor, so scrolling up to the upper left every time I need to select a menu item is horrid. Plus, they got rid of the amazingly useful tear off menu customization. The Mac toolbar is a big step backwards.
- sgt 8y agoThen just use CTRL-F2, it's a shortcut to select the menu item. Although with such a big monitor, I'd say the biggest challenge is to move your eyes all the way up to where the menu bar might be. Unless of course you're sitting 10 feet away.
- protomyth 8y agoOk, but missing the point if I have to use a keyboard to make it work better. The menu bar on the NeXT was a joy, obvious, and right next to where I was working.
- Bradlinc 8y agoI never used NeXTSTEP but I am always curious about what didn't make the transition to Mac OS X. Was the Digital Librarian different than Spotlight?
