I can't believe I have never seen or heard of NeXTSTEP before today. That is an enviornment that would be very useful to me right now 14 years later. Based on the feature set it provides out of the box, I would argue that was the most powerful and productive interface available at the time. No wonder Jobs left Apple to pursue his own OS and animation software/studio.
