admittedly there were many times when he was pigheaded

Arguably, he’d still be alive today if he wasn’t so pigheaded.

Behind the Bastards had a good one on Jobs, where they went into a little bit how he believed in this mucus theory, it was pure madness. And it’s why he died.

It’s still better than Windows

The problem there is that Windows has been lowering the bar for a decade now.

Engineers made the OS good. Steve didn’t do shit.

Well that’s not correct.

Engineers are great at developing a product.

But having someone at the end who’s using the product and insisting on consistency because he’s anal-retentive and a pain in the ass will mean the product is consistent with the evaluator’s goals.

macOS used to have a lot of underlying features that worked consistently no matter which app you were using, and Apple destroyed that.

Either Jobs was having an effect, or it’s a damned strange coincidence that the severe reduction in consistency in macOS started just at the point that he died.

Yeah, Apple were doing so great with their engineers until 1997, and then Jobs came back and ruined things.

At least he gave us some basic window management features. It’s still miles behind what Windows and Linux has unfortunately.

I like the word inconsistent. It’s been over a decade since I stopped using macs — so I don’t remember exactly what it was that bothered me — but one of the biggest reasons why I stopped using macs was the inconsistency. Within the OS, between apps, between iOS and macos, etc…
