It seems to me that the Mac platform is turning into one of almost 100%
Apple-provided applications. Given this, it's important that these
applications give a feeling for how applications should appear and
behave on the platform. If you are a developer new to the platform (in
a way we all are, since Mac OS X and Aqua are still very young) how are
you to learn about right and wrong? Not by looking at the applications
that is shipped by Apple unfortunately, you would have to go almost
soley by the HIG documents - or give in and accept that there is no
right and wrong right now, that all is in flux and subject to change.
What is right and what is wrong? The real, "living", applications, or
the theoretical "dead" guideline document?
I tend to think that it is as they say in the prophetic movie,
Terminator 2:
"The future is not set. There is no HIG (fate) but what we make for
ourselves" :)

We are quite willing to fix these problems, instead of complaining
here, why don't you file a bunch of bugs against the individual
applications (using radar web).
It bothers me that lots of our applications are not consistent. But
complaining here will not result in the bug getting fixed, you have to
file the bug.
