Mac OS 10.3 GUI design faults

Original date: Wed Jun 9 21:43:38 EST 2004

I hate Mac OS X's GUI.  My credentials to rant about this are: over the last 15 years, i have used the following desktop operating systems at home, school/uni, or work (in alphabetical order):

  • AIX 3.1, X11/Motif GUI
  • HP-UX 7.x-11.x; X11/Motif, CDE GUIs
  • Linux (kernel 0.97 - 2.4); X11, KDE, and GNOME GUIs
  • MS-DOS 2.11 - 6.22
  • Mac OS 7.x - 10.x
  • Minix
  • OS/2 1.3-2.1
  • SunOS 4.x - 5.9; Sunview, Open Look, and CDE GUIs
  • Windows 3.x, 9x, 200x, XP

My current desktop is Red Hat Linux 9, with GNOME 2.2 GUI, and icewm as my window manager.
