But the scrollbars and widgets are not even similar, neither are the fonts, the color pickers or anything worth talking about... The only similarity seems to be blue-grayish tones, and possibly gradients (although the jpgs of the Samsung IDE are too blurry to really tell). Surely you're not talking about the drag and drop grid either, which was around years before Apple even made IDEs. There are plenty of lazy carbon-copied Mac themes for Windows and whatnot, this isn't even close, it's just yet another IDE with color tones that are vaguely similar to XCode (maybe ? how many windows apps aren't gray/blue these days ?).

You're missing the forest for the trees.

  Or maybe it's you missing the trees for the grass leaves? Seriously though, most IDEs (and CAD and graphic design packages for that matter) have looked very similar to those screenshots. Fuck, if we were to 'condem' every other IDE in windows using the same icon set and toolbox/tabset styles as Visual Studio, then most of them are 'carbon copies' (let's forget for a minute most of those IDEs use the OS-provided controls.) This is really starting to sound like nitpicking by some Apple fanboys. The fact this even makes it to Hacker News kind of pisses me off.
