Not so! System 7 was by far the best of the Mac OSes and (while it's not very well-suited for power-user tasks) it has the nicest interface of any OS I've yet encountered. New MacOS is just BSD with a pretty skin on it.
Agreed! System 7 is probably my favourite user interface ever! (Sorry Workbench

) System 8 and 9 were not quite as good looking, and OS X is pretty tasteless, even though I run it today. I wish I could skin it like System 7, but ShapeShifter does not work anymore.. :/
