Why does this matter to you at all? It's funny to see all the Mac apologizer comments having to clarify that "oh no, but that Mac was so different". As if the modern incantation is any better; we just had a thread two days ago of how absolutely botched it is from a UI/UX perspective, and the hardware is the most anti-hacker, anti-consumer, DRM-riddled thing in existence if you watch any of that Ross boy's channel.

Yeah, that comment aged well. Mac users are still waiting for full OpenGL 4.6 compliance and that spec is already ten years old.

Edit: of course, I will get down-voted despite laying out very basic facts. Happens every time you poke the dogma bee's nest.

Edit edit: I am still genuinely curious why the man's opinion from 30 years ago apparently matters to you that much. I'd like to understand the psychology behind it if you would care to write a response.

For me, it's just historical curiosity. I lived through that era, but had no hope of getting actual exposure to all of those OS's. I went from MS-DOS to 68k Mac, to Win95. I can't even claim to have been particularly prescient about any of those choices.

Yeah, for sure. It's interesting to read about what developers thought of OSes or programming languages of yore, especially from Carmack. But GP is already begging for praise on Mac or something.

I mean, why does it matter to you that some random internet commenter is curious what John Carmack thinks about macOS?

I downvote anybody who complains about getting downvoted personally

It's even mentioned in the site guidelines not to complain about downvotes.
