    This is an incredibly interesting interview that I hadn’t seen before. He lays out an actual philosophy behind why the Mac was designed the way it was: users (in the 1970’s) weren’t used to typing esoteric commands and mostly didn’t want to learn.

    Expectations have changed a bit since then — we are now, IMHO, too eager to force training on users. Sometimes in the name of “opinionated design.”
