The silver lining is, now that we've all lived through Apple's Jobs years, we at least know that that kind of quality, consistency, attention to detail, etc. is possible.
Sooner or later somebody will take all the good ideas from Apple's heyday and make another good OS. Maybe, if we're lucky, it'll even be open-source.
It's the kind of thing I dream of doing myself one day. But if someone beats me to it, that's fine too :)
- lioeters 7y agoI share your optimism, that people who remember what good Apple design felt like, will carry on the torch. The generational knowledge transfer seems to have broke down somewhere within Apple, that only the superficial aesthetic is being carried on, while the fundamentals - user-friendly design, repairability, extensibility - are getting left behind. > ..take all the good ideas from Apple's heyday and make another good OS. Maybe, if we're lucky, it'll even be open-source. There are a number of open-source community projects that impressed me as having such a vision, going back to the roots, keeping the dream alive and designing the way forward.
