In Defense of Aqua

“Apple expatriates Bruce ‘Tog’ Togzini and Jef Raskin, highly-credentialed and respected individuals, are figuratively leading the charge to convince users that, regardless of how much any individual may like Aqua, it is poorly designed and will destroy their productivity. In seeing the obvious painstaking design that went into the new interface, I found myself having a hard time believing these arguments, convincing through they sounded, and in the process of replying to some discussion postings on MacCentral.com, I found myself discovering the holes in their reasoning.”
