Panther UI Criticism

Irate Scotsman Matt Gemmell offers a criticism of the UI changes in Panther. I'm waiting to see the final thing before passing final judgement, but I agree there's some questionable things Apple is doing in the UI department. Using more and more metal being one of the biggest. Oh well, we'll see how it goes with the final result.

I'm of course still jazzed about Expose'. Also I don't necessarily see anything wrong with the new Tab controls, it's consistent with the way Apple seems to intend tabs to be used. Maybe this is setting the stage for the introduction of Safari style tabs. That would be cool as the current NSTabView is not much good for using tabs to display documents since it doesn't adequately handle overflow.
