Also all docks are crappy, full bars for life.

Comfy, miss OS9 and PPC games. Used OS 10.3 for years, they used to let you run an OS9 environment for your old games.

I'm a guy who can easily sit in front of a screen for 14 hours straight (with toilet and food-making breaks). I spent 1.5 hours with macos and got a headache because EVERYTHING is either white or a very bright gray. Wtf
I remember times when Apple fags complained about the ugly gray-ness of windows back when the colorful iMacs were a thing. Funny how that reversed.

>>56872884
it's pretty nice but i don't really like those floating icons in the top right. the floating text in the top left/middle seems fine though, I don't know why.

Gnome 3 is pretty nice, though it's fair to say it's influenced by OSX

Your UI is to inconsistent, my mac friend.

>>56873116
I know the difference, op is talking about GUI, which is a subset of UI. But it doesn't really matter, as long as you can use it and that is

tl;dr : I am not a homosexual that cares about the colors and placement of the buttons (or fucking terminal if that is)

I'll probably get a new mbp when apple releases them. So glad I got a job that pays more.

Snow Leopard is the gold standard.
With Lion the iOS-fication started with questionable design decisions for a desktop such as hidden scrollbars.

>>56878124
The scrolls bars get in the way. I like them hiding.

What are you, fucking 6 years old?

>>56869120
It does look great, too bad it's not good for being productive as developer and it gives Apple full control over its users.

>>56869296
El Capitan fixed it.

>>56878235
how so?

>>56878235
What are you talking about?

>>56878269
>>56878275
The OS isn't made for power users and the proprietary and Internet-connected nature allows Apple to do anything.

>>56878287
So when I asked "what are you talking about" I meant can you give a more concrete example than this vague FUDdy stuff you're saying.

Can you point to any single thing that someone capable of using a bash (or similar) shell couldn't change or disable?

easy, since macOS is just a bad iOS port.

The user is inherently not in control. Users can't find out how the system works, they're running a black box.

>>56878413
Okay.

>>56878431
>apple.com
That's pretty deep down the vendor lockin hole. I've never seen a Windows fanboy show a screenshot with Microsoft.com.

>>56878490
are you honestly this easily baited?

>>56878413
>Users can't find out how the system works, they're running a black box.
of any modern OS, macOS is prolly the best documented.
otherwise any modern OS is too complex for a user to really understand. nor should he need to since he's not an OS developer.

>>56878502
>actual OS X screenshot
>bait
That's not how that works

>>56878530
there's this, but also i feel like he's getting way off track at this point. can he articulate some way that OS X's "black box" characteristic meaningfully affects development in C or Java or Python or Go or JS or Lisp or Haskell or Rust or Clojure or any of the other 50 most popular programming languages?

my hunch is that he can't. i'd even wager that he doesn't know how to code in the first place, and he's parroting the shit that someone else he considered more knowledgeable than him said. which would be fine if we could talk to that guy, but we just have to put up with this parrot repeatedly saying it's a black box and users don't have full control.

>>56878567
why would you conclude that it's vendor lock in?

stick to your guns or stop posting. don't weasel out of a stupid comment.

>>56869120
Haven't upgraded to sierra, but did they fix the ability to actually search messages?

>>56878530
>prolly the best documented
This is about trust and transparency. You should not have to take a company's word for what software running on your computer does and doesn't do.

>>56878616
how does this relate to the point about developers being productive? it sounds like you have some disorder that makes you unproductive if you don't feel you can peer down to the bottom of the tech stack at any point. for most employable people, that's not necessary.

are you able to drive? does it present a problem if you're not intimately familiar with the mechanics of the car you're driving?

>>56878604
Showing off with a company's webpage is "loyal" beyond reason: naive.

>>56878637
You missed a link somewhere, my original points were both the bad fit for developer productivity AND the user not being in control, this sub discussion is about the latter one.

>>56869161
That looks like shit, dude.

>>56878649
i saw the image and concluded that he was trying to get a rise out of anyone who would click on it and be easily triggered. like you.

you sound like you're being baited. it takes a faggot 1 second to navigate to apple.com before taking a screenshot and to make it look like he's drinking the kool aid, and you took the bait like a retard who was looking for it.

>>56878671
so you're dropping that first point entirely or what? the freetard argument is a little tired if you've heard RMS speak or read any of his writing. i don't really need some anonymous loser on 4chan to rehash it for me. i get it - you're upset that we can't inspect every line of code that goes into OS X. i admit it would be nicer if we could, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

so let's talk about the point that has any bearing on day to day life; the first point that you led with.

>>56878675
Nonono, besides that the person is ACTUALLY running MacOS, which means he's into Apple in some way, it's typical Applefag behavior.

>>56869120
I'll admit, OS X is beautiful.

>>56878717
I'm sorry son, you failed the heterosexuality test.

>>56878708
> it's typical Applefag behavior.
it's really not. there are a lot of people on 4chan that use macs and it's just convenient that navigating to apple.com or macrumors or something before taking a screenshot is all it takes to send people like you into a tizzy like this.

if you've ever used os x, you'd appreciate that it's just a *nix environment with all of the Desktop Environment settings made somewhat reasonably, with the ability to change a fair amount of shit quite readily. beyond that, i don't think anyone cares that much except for people like you, and i imagine it's amusing to rile up people like you with so little effort.

Dude stop.

>>56878747
I have used Mac OS, but also most kinds of Linux, and it's extremely obvious to me that Linux is more convenient and customizable when you know what you're doing.

>>56878780
>>asks about second
i never asked about the second. the vaguest i was in my posts was asking what you're talking about. if you decided to go after the more intangible point, that was up to you, but you had every opportunity to justify your first, leading argument, and you've chosen now to greentext this whole conversation in your own twisted interpretation as if someone here needs a recap, so i figure you're done contributing to the conversation.

i guess good job trolling.

>>56878818
since it's so extremely obvious to you, can you actually put it in words why it's more convenient and customizable.

>>56878743

That is not a fair question. Apple defines what is beautiful.

I tried it out and it didn't even work. Plus the flat icon set is pretty ugly. I like the idea though.

Killing Classic was the right thing to do, its just a shame that we got stuck with a shit interface in exchange. The OS X Server betas had the Platinum UI, but 10.0-10.4 looked like garbage. Didn't start looking nice again until at least Leopard, but its still not the same.
