Consistency (was: Re: UI Forking: Towards Resolution...)
UI consistency == good. Adaptive menus, like the Microsoft ones, have terrible usability because they hide stuff which is _enabled_. That's shocking. But I'm talking about hiding stuff which is not there. This menu is comparable to a context menu, because its contents depend completely on context.

Consistency (was: Re: UI Forking: Towards Resolution...)
Before you try to beg off with "UI consistency is up to the App vendor", let me point out that if Apple had gone OO a few years ago, instead of clinging to this fucking pascal API with the CDEF's and shit, then any app with scrollers would have benefited from an update of the scrollers in the system libraries.

The Mac UI is a steaming pile. "Better than windoze" is NO EXCUSE.

Windows UI "consistency"
This seems to often get confused with requests for 32-bitness, retiring the ancient Foxpro engine, making the UI at least Win95 compliant, etc. I'd settle for UI consistency. Just as one example (judiciously chosen), take Bob's interface to the Geobase. This involves three windows: Search Geobase, List of Matching

Pro UI & Anti-Degradation (was Re: Pro-choice and proud of it. )
I use remote X extensively and it is a great tool - but I was not talking about the actual functionality, but overall UI consistency. OLE, COM (DCOM), ActiveX, DirectX, Driver support, Software support, UI consistency. I cannot comment on the first 4, because they are not something I have any experience with.

The problem is, if every developer adopts their personal appliance-of-choice-UI into the NeXT UI, then the NeXT UI gets compromised... I've seen it happen on other systems... If a tradeoff must be made (and I'm not sure one must...) then I think it's better to err on the side of UI consistency.

sigh.. UI Consistency, please.
I'd like to point out that the top ten killer apps on Windows, the ones that make it a compelling platform more than any HIG or UI consistency ever could, are a mess as far as UI consistency goes. Mom and Pop, and the Photoshop and Dreamweaver users, do not care enough to shun the low-cost hardware platform.

The Ultimate Amiga Screwup
But largely because so much can be inherited, anything that's based on a WPS class will follow the user interface guidelines without a conscious effort from the developer.

Bug#54250: tasksel: UI consistency with whiptail/dialog (long)
The cohesiveness and overall system UI consistency are decreased. I don't want this to happen in NS. Every user's preference should not and cannot be served and yet still maintain a consistent UI paradigm. It would be akin to asking the auto makers to allow me to reset the arrangement and functionality of the dash
