Gruber GUI Interview

Daring Fireball logo

John Gruber of Daring Fireball fame was interviewed over at GUIdebook and it's an interesting read that you should take a look at if you ever find yourself thinking about the way Apple's GUI (graphical user interface) looks and functions.

In the interview, there is much discussion about what GUI decisions Gruber thinks are tied directly into Steve Jobs' involvement with the development of the OS, and whether they are good or bad. He hates the Finder and dislikes the Aqua candy-coated look, but is hopeful for 10.5 to make some improvements (and I think with Mike Matas now working for Apple, there is every chance that there will be some substantial GUI improvements).
