I would like to see a system that acts like classic System 7, too. Less Unix sludge, more focus on a single interactive user. More explorability, more hackability. A computer that feels like your computer.

I'm not sure that the Spatial Finder needed to die; the standard excuses (we have too many files! our displays are too large!) feel knee-jerk and not well thought out at all.

This, but System 6. 7 never looked or felt right, and I preferred MultiFinder.

Heh, I mean, sure? I liked it all, but I feel like the feel of it is what's missing, more than any one specific implementation, if that makes sense?
