I’m starting to get conspiratorial about this.

@gruber was like:

> everyone I’ve spoken to is happy — if not downright giddy — at the news that Lemay is replacing Dye

@markgurman now:

> haven’t been able to find any evidence suggesting there were designers internally opposed to [Liquid Glass] during development.

So what was the source of that giddyness then, if not the shitty direction, bad job? Just Dye’s personality or something? How to square this?

@mrudokas @markgurman @marioguzman No need for conspirational thinking. “Liquid Glass” isn’t the problem. If you could just swap in a new “theme” for MacOS Tahoe, the horrendous UI problems would remain. They’re separate from the visual appearance of the “theme”. The problem isn’t the Liquid Glass trees, it’s the overall state of the forest, especially on the Mac.

@gruber it really took a wrong turn with Big Sur. Tahoe took some more wrong turns, but it’s been in a bad way for a while now.
