Truth. Down with pretty. Up with usability!

This is exactly what I want to hear.

Apple had the age of pretty. They managed to get rid of that and we got decent keyboards and ports back and are serious business territory. I' hope that the same engineering mentality applies to software which is a little rough in that department.

I dislike this trend we have for all application icons to be the same shape. Shape is an important differentiator.

But, as always in the 21st century Apple design ethos, usability must come second to looking good in the keynote.

It’s like an OSX aqua skin for windows vista

I don’t mean that in a negative way. Just the vibe it gave me
