Your comment reminded me of the way Apple didn't put cursor keys on the keyboard for the first Macintosh model because they wanted to force users to use the mouse.
- tetrisgm 3y agoOh god. I love that it's a move to market a feature, but it's so disrespectful of a user's expectations. Wonder if this kind of trade off still happens there or if it's just a byproduct of its time.
- kj99 3y agoIt wasn’t to force users to use the mouse. It was to force developers to create software that used the new paradigm rather than just porting over CLI apps. Apple still uses this tactic a lot, and it’s one of the things that irritates people most about them. I’m glad they do it, but it’s understandable why it pisses people off.
