nostalgia colors the past, but form over function has always been a fetish of consumer software (and apple software in particular). it must feel premium, it must feel professional, it must feel creative. everything is feelings and little is getting done. it looks beautiful. there's a lot of attention to detail here. I'm partial to the look of classic mac OS, but its UI was terribly clunky, esoteric, and unresponsive. aqua is very polished and sits on top of a snappy preemptive kernel.
