Comment on Make Linux look like Mac OS 9

Comments

There's a lot to like about 1990s UI designs - for example, they tend to have clearly delineated controls and to be more easily discoverable.

The spatially-oriented Finder of classic Mac OS has some nice properties as well, such as visual stability and a 1:1 mapping between windows and folders.

I remember when Nautilus went spatial per default. The flamewars went on for months.
