What's shiny about OS X anymore? The only thing I can think of is a glass panel in iTunes and the stoplight window controls. It's a very subdued, minimal, content-focused GUI.

- redthrowaway 14y ago"Shiny" could be metaphorical, here. Ever since Lion, OSX has been far too eager to show the world that it exists. Too many gimmicky interfaces, too many half-baked UI structures.... I don't care. Let me do what I want and get the fuck out of my way. I have a limited number of pixels available to me. If you're a GUI designer who thinks I should give those pixels to you, then you are mistaken. Apple seems to have forgotten that recently (although Snow Leopard is pretty great).
