I don't know what you mean about "clear customer demand". Nick. Not to put
too fine a point on it, you hang out with a bunch of geeks here. Don't like
stripes, don't like Aqua, don't like HTML, don't like anything "pretty",
don't like "attractive design". It's all plain, plain, plain here. (NOT
everyone, please don't get annoyed Michelle, I don't mean you, OK? ;-))
This is no indication of what the majority of customers may want. I happen
to like stripes, Aqua, HTML (if well done). i admire Apple for sticking
their necks out and making a beautiful interface ahead of what anyone was
asking for. I hope they go on doing it. I may well not be typical either. I
have no idea what the typical user wants. I think Apple is great for running
ahead of the pack and caring about such things. Some software companies have
really taken it in board on gone with it in their OS X apps. I like those
too. Anyway, you can always go spend time in the Terminal. That's pretty
plain.
