I'm somewhat surprised that this essay didn't mention how close the constraints of an anti-mac interface correspond to the 'unix philosophy' / human interface best practices for command line applications. (This breaks the conversational-interface-style suggestion in the second act of the essay, of course, as well as the analogy with Starfire, which is even further away from a unix style than the Macintosh interface was in the late 80s.)
