IRIX was what an OS is supposed to look like: functional. In fact, things took a major turn for the worse when we pushed the engineers aside and let the avant-garde artists take over.
What I do know is that children and smooth-brains alike in the 1990s could figure out Windows 9x and Mac OS 7 with little effort as "ugly" as they were. Even CDE, the ugliest girl in the village, was still usable.
I have a genius-level IQ (it's been tested) and I cannot figure some of this new shit out. It's often poorly thought out and illogical. Modern OS design has turned into a virtual escape room, where the puzzle has now become accomplishing basic tasks but you get to take an acid trip with animations and hamburger buttons along the way.
