I've always wondered why the guy who made gnome did not just use a damn mac. If you like mac, you like it because it is a mac (and all that entails). I mean what is a mac? The culture, the marketing, the packaging, the case, the hardware, the user experience. You will never be able to reproduce that mac user experience, unless of course you can match the level of engineering and support and design and effort and genius that went into creating the mac user experience. But here is this guy, who is going to make a system that is just like the mac, except better, all by himself.
Is what we are seeing de Icaza succumbing to the Dunning–Kruger effect?
