Completely agreed, Charles.
NeXTSTEP / NEXTSTEP / NeXTStep / OpenStep had some truly wonderful UI
conventions and innovations. So has Mac OS. Even Windows has the
occasional UI feature that is pretty damned neat/useful -- I haven't
found quite as many of 'em, but there is a handful.
We could all stand to learn from the platforms we are not familiar with
and, frankly, could learn a thing or two from the platforms we consider
to be our target markets. How often have any of you actually sat and
watched a relatively novice user and taken notes of the HCI experience?
We finally did that on our product and learned a slew of things that we
could improve...

intuitive, and convenient in NeXTStep, whilst limited, forced to do
nonsenses, and inconvenient in Mac OS.
Not to go for too complicated tricks: just the plain OSn (triple
alas, also n==X) idiotic limitation to only one corner when resizing
a window is enough for an example. Or the impossibility to switch
apps when a dialogue was shown, whew!
Please let's not make this into a flame war, okay? This has nothing to
do with the topic being discussed.
