>His followers are crazed and or ignorant cultists with zero design taste or sensibility.
Is that he has been awarded dozens of prestigious design awards and accolades from famous industrial designers?
Because all these have also "zero design taste"?
How about you overblow some of his wrong choices and obsessions (especially around 2015-2018), and ignore more than a decade of wonderful products, widely successful, praised for their design (looks and function), and well received?
Here's an Ive fanboy:
I’m have to admit being a bit baffled by how nobody else seems to have done what Apple did with the Macbook Air – even several years after the first release, the other notebook vendors continue to push those ugly and clunky things. Yes, there are vendors that have tried to emulate it, but usually pretty badly. I don’t think I’m unusual in preferring my laptop to be thin and light. Btw, even when it comes to Apple, it’s really just the Air that I think is special. The other apple laptops may be good-looking, but they are still the same old clunky hardware, just in a pretty dress. I’m personally just hoping that I’m ahead of the curve in my strict requirement for “small and silent”. It’s not just laptops, btw – Intel sometimes gives me pre-release hardware, and the people inside Intel I work with have learnt that being whisper-quiet is one of my primary requirements for desktops too. I am sometimes surprised at what leaf-blowers some people seem to put up with under their desks.
