In my opinion, this will be a great feature all around. Apple is incrementally moving closer to the goal of "you don't need to 'fully internalize the structure of an OS'" and I can't wait to get there.
my point was i would like an OS that we all can fully internalize; layers of very different paradigms, creating more versions of the user experience, take us farther from that goal; but it will sell, i guess that's what matters
Sure I write my own code and don't mind tinkering with the system. But on a daily basis? Why would anyone want to intricately manage their files.
if it's a cohesive overall structure, internalizing doesn't mean you know how to do everything, you just learn how to learn what you need; and people _do_ want to intricately manage _things_, which means tools need to have a lot of depth
If it hadn't been already, it should be abundantly clear that the menubar is on it's way out as an interface element.
i'd have no problem with that if a sufficiently rich and discoverable paradigm emerges to replace it, but a vocabulary of hundreds of different fingerswipes won't be especially intuitive until we all learn the fingerswipes in our childhood
i've always felt that interacting with a computer is on the level of complexity of language; how do you simplify language?
