The question is, has Apple "solved" UI? Some might argue that they have succeeded on mobile devices. But what about the Desktop? In my opinion, the desktop is still a ghetto. Be it Windows, Ubuntu or OS X. Open a couple of applications and documents and well, OS X crumbles from a UX point of view. Do I need to see all open Finders, applications and open docs when I should be getting stuff done? Multi-tasking leads to high complexity and the visual organization of all the information seems to be unresolved problem.
Secondly, is it worth wile to bring the mobile experience to the desktop?
- padobson 15y agoI don't have answers to either of your questions, and neither does anybody else. The answers are not going to come from fights about what UI should be, but from as many OS developers as possible doing as many experiments as possible on the largest number of users possible. My point was that this isn't going to happen if the community continues all of this back biting.
