Beautiful, it’s nice, but the polished user experience was the ultimate argument.

- Raising the lid of the laptop and the base wouldn’t stick and fall off on the desk,

- A single-button click,

- A Cmd+C to copy and Ctrl+C for the interruption 7 in the terminal,

But now you have to configure that, yes, activate the right-click; yes, activate the three-finger click (wtf, 3 fingers); yes, activate the swipe-across-desktops on the magic mouse, all those items were selling points, so they should have studied the best behavior and implemented it by default on all deployments. But that requires studies, aesthetics, and a taste that only Steeve Jobs had, otherwise everything becomes an option. That’s right, I’m going to paraphrase Jobs’ argument against the 1990ies Microsoft:

The problem with Apple is they have no taste.
