The residue of decades of Mac design
Zoë Smith’s husband switched to the Mac, which gave her the unique opportunity to witness someone discovering the platform for the first time:
I’ve been a Mac user since the IIsi. I know those features above inside-out… But to see it through a new Mac user’s eyes is to see a vast enormity of mistakes not made. It is to perceive a clarity of intention through design, maintained over decades of updates.
A bunch of great details in this one.
