In this case, the decision is arrogantly wrong because it's predicated on an over-inflated sense of Firefox's position relative to the entire platform and ecosystem of consistent applications, and this position is based on self-interest, putting branding interests and their designer's ego ahead of the interests of their customers.

- teacup50 12y agoDesign that doesn't put the user first is egotistical by nature. There's nothing to get used to; design isn't new on Apple's platforms. If anything, Apple has driven software design more than any other platform or company. Apple's customers value -- and paid for -- a consistent ecosystem, on which Apple defines design guidelines and HIG requirements. Apple developers and designers work together to maintain a consistent ecosystem and the resulting mutual benefit. Get used to it.
