Fruit menu appeared because Apple - Steve - chose to remove some of the best things about the classic OS. I still miss them but I have chosen to use my OS neXt box for UNIX and its command line interface. Finder and Dock are hidden away. Would that Apple would provide an MPW shell for X. I am composing this on an 8500 running OS 9 which remains my GUI of choice. It has a "fruit menu" compliments of Apple itself.
A good fraction of the blame for the incompatibilities discussed in this thread should be directed at Steve. He's the one who buried OS 9. He's the one that who insisted on the Next Step.
But then he's also the one who doubled the value of my Apple stock with iPod and iTunes so my opinion is a bit blunted even though I use neither.
What I really want to see is an AppleScript that uses drag and drop to a "trash" folder and emulates the trash can of old with eject when it's a disk, removing alias files and not the original, and all of the other good things from the pre-dock world.
Give credit where it is due to an outfit, Unsanity, that at least tries to humanize OS neXt with the Tognazzini heritage in mind. If you think it's trivial let's see that AppleScript.
