The frustrating part is that OS X was NeXTStep under the covers, and that had the late 90’s look down better than any OS. http://toastytech.com/guis/ns332.html

I ran windowmaker on my linux systems around 2000 to get that same look, but I had serious NeXT envy.
- asveikau 4y agoI liked NeXT and GNUstep in those days too. I'm not sure they had it literally "better" than everybody else, but they certainly had something unique, well executed, etc. You can still recognize NeXT patterns in modern Mac GUIs. They're usually not surface level anymore.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoStill upset that I don't live in the timeline where GNUStep/Windowmaker became the defacto DE for Linux.
- bitwize 4y agoOh, man, NeXTstep was an amazing UI, easily the best in the Unix world. Still a disaster compared to System 7, 8, or 9.
