iTunes and iPhoto both. Given how good the tools are getting, and how much existing sample code is available, it seems likely someone will do a good job of reincarnating them in the near future. Apple broke the apps I used most on the Mac and then they added the bubblicious design crime UI, no thanks.

I found a WinAmp clone, written in Swift and AppKit, in the App Store yesterday. It was a month old, and from the description (ex. "No Electron, no bloat." and "No telemetry, no tracking, no accounts") it was almost certainly vibe coded. All the things it was saying were things I like, but written in a very AI way.

I think this is going to finally bring about the year of the open source desktop.

I’ll happily install that if I can see the source code, read it all in a sitting, and it is not terrible.

(Note that, in this model, if I want to futz with key bindings or other UI tweaks, I can just ask an LLM to change it. No configuration UI required! Just like evilwm.)
