I initially thought it was slop, and then I looked at who wrote it. This is someone I have a lot of respect for.

Personally, I’ve used every Mac UI from the original Twiggy interface, and prefer the UI of Mac OS 7.6.1 with Greg’s Browser, OtherMenu and DragThing. If I could get a macOS back-end with that user interface on the front end, I feel I could get stuff done faster with less frustration.

There was nothing wrong with the original Xerox PARC or Apple HIG documents; their findings still hold true today.
