Brent Simmons has been posting a number of articles recently on inconsistencies in the latest Tiger UI. Here’s an example.

I’m all for innovation, but I do think that Apple’s UI design has been getting more than a little flaky recently.

It’s not that it’s all bad, just that it seems to lack any kind of intellectual rigour. For every great new idea, there seem to be five inexplicable changes which make things less consistent, or harder to use.

I’d like to see some sort of internal review process within Apple which caught a lot of the inconsistencies a bit sooner (e.g. at the beta stage). I find it hard to believe that such a process doesn’t exist already, but if so then it’s clearly broken!

Oh dear.
