The past 10 years have been a sad, slow decline for Apple's UIs. I'm really hoping for them to reclaim some of their former UI glory. At least, in Golden Gate, they reverted their own HIG violation of excessive icons back to factory: https://www.macrumors.com/2026/06/11/macos-27-golden-gate-me...

The time span and visible effect are both fully attributable to Alan Dye being head of design. It (what we have today) was his style. He made this world.

He’s out now. We can start to do something else.
