Not everybody is a Mac fanatic here! :-) At least, I'm not (even if I do like Macs), and many other guys aren't. And I dissagree that the User Interface thing is off-topic: the main reason why System 6 is adorable is its simple and clean user interface, which places it in a level of simplicity that has yet to be met by either OS X or Windows. Talking about the many ways the Mac UI is superior to Windows, and the few ways Windows is superior to the Mac is on topic in this list, I'm affraid.
Sys6 wont be matched: maybe Squeak but I'd be moving the goal posts, 6.04 booted from rom on a C1 is also alone, nothing beats it for my money. This thread would be better on the vintage list, the compact list has to many on-topic mac users who do not want this traffic in their digest - I may be wrong?
Oh, and by the way: I don't need to fight for the Mac when I don't think it carries the reason: I'm a professional Windows software developer that spends 95% of its time with several Windows machines (a couple production workstations and a server), and during the remaining 5% uses several vintage Macs. The UI thing specially appeals to me, because I think that if a software title has to be great, it not only has to make great things, but it also has to make them easy and fun - and a well-designed UI is the only way to achieve it.
I do a little linux, a tad of doze, a pinch of BE a smattering of BetaX/Classic, add some amigaOS and DoS, I'm a truck driver this week. Point is .... Oh, I forgot. :) Personally I enjoy the banter between the old guard.
