Actually, it’s document centric - the Windows approach is “app” centric. It has always been like that, 35 years and counting. It’s arguably a “truer” implementation of a windowed UI, than Windows.
- wayneftw 7y agoNo that is incorrect, macOS is app-centric and it’s really not a truer form of anything in particular other than its self. That’s why you only see one icon in the dock per app and not per window or document. And you cannot switch directly from one document in one application to another document in another application. You have to switch apps first, then you can switch documents/windows. Windows is window-centric. That’s why when you do alt tab, you see all of the windows. That’s also why you classically see a separate task bar item for each window. I’d like to hear an argument in support of your view though.
