Surprisingly the Xerox Star GUI was verb-noun and the Apple Mac of the same era was noun-verb. There were (of course) exceptions. I started with verb-noun on the Star then migrated over to the noun-verb on the mac. Noun-verb seemed immediately better. I wonder if XEROX PARC virtual desktop research came before or after the Star?
