Interesting article by Steven Frank, who is a longtime indy developer of Mac software (and one of the most vocal critics of the App Store policies at one point). His company, Panic, makes awesome stuff.

A lot of thoughtful people, many of whom are bloggers, look at this history and say, “Look at this march of progress! Surely the desktop + windows + mouse interface can’t be the end of the road? What’s next?”

Then “next” arrived and it was so unrecognizable to most of them (myself included) that we looked at it said, “What in the shit is this?”
