The Mac app ecosystem considers HIG failures to be serious bugs, and they do not survive. So yes, for all meaningful definitions, "all Mac apps adhere". You do not appear to know what you're talking about here, and I don't know why you're bothering to argue. Show me an example of an even semi-popular Mac app which uses a different convention for Print, and we might have a conversation. Your excerpted quotes are misleading, but I'll respond to one point: > most of these defaults are poorly (unergonomically) engineered based on design ignorance from the 80s You just invented that problem. Show me a more ergonomic design for Print. A large part of design/usability success is consistency and predictability.
