As much as I love Jobs-era Mac OS X, particularly Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard, I wholeheartedly agree with you: there’s something about the classic Mac OS and its ecosystem of applications that felt truly like “a computer for the rest of us,” one with very well-considered user interface guidelines and principles. While Mac OS X was undoubtedly a major improvement in terms of stability and infrastructure, it is not as easy to use as the classic Mac OS. Once again, this is from a lover of Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard.
