Because Apple's UI and "we will tell you what you want" attitude has always made my skin crawl. What kind of moron thinks detaching the menu for apps from the window for apps is a good UI design?
And, because most of the software I need for my job still does not run on Linux.
- anm89 5y agoI feel like microsoft is the same but instead of them telling you what they want the OS will just forcibly switch states and just DO whatever it wants. I'm not an Apple defender by any stretch but personally it still never feels as agressively shitty as MS products
- CRConrad 5y ago> [Mac OS] still never feels as agressively shitty as MS products No, you're right: it's more passive-agressively shitty.
- hbn 5y ago> What kind of moron thinks detaching the menu for apps from the window for apps is a good UI design? As a UX it's consistent, and very nice that for any app I'm using, I have a familiar menu I can navigate, and I can even hit Cmd+Shift+/ and hop into a search of every item in that consistent menu (which tends to include most major actions you'd want to do in that app). And I think it being detached and stuck to the top of the screen at an OS-level is important for this to work. I certainly wouldn't want the OS to force design upon the window itself (i.e. having the same bar but attached to the top of every window), and if it was an optional, native UI component included in an SDK, a good amount of apps (read: most) wouldn't use it (that's basically the situation on Windows). But because it's essentially part of the OS, and an app would look weird if it didn't have that, it's created a very consistent experience across all apps.
