Apple’s Mac OS X Is A GUI Mess. Who’s To Blame?

JobsWhile most Mac users don’t care too much because OS X Tiger works so well, many Mac users have noticed and complained about the Graphical User Interface.

The GUI is total chaos, an inconsistent mess, a jumble of contradictions. Why? Because Apple CEO Steve Jobs is a sly fox.

Mac OS X Panther at version 10.3.9 may have been the best Mac OS ever. Solid. Secure. Dependable. Mac OS X Tiger at 10.4.3 seems to exceed that and adds many new features.

What both have in.... (excerpted).

The reason is more simple than you think. It has to do with the coding. Cocoa is going to be full 64 bit API for gui while carbon remains mostly 32 bit. Apple is getting ready for the future of leopard and :Snow Leopard” by transition to the Cocoa gui… which is a more platinum look and feel than the old carbon of tiger

Snow Leopard
