Yeah, I wish they wouldn't base their decisions so much on stuff like that. With Ive out the door, maybe that sort of thing will swing back to a more reasonable, middle ground where utility/function get a bit more consideration (and it isn't all just about "1mm thinner than the previous model". Nobody cares on desktops, especially when the iMac isn't a bloated wreck and nobody's asking for it to be made smaller.
I have a feeling he was the primary reason for some of that nuttiness and I'm glad he's gone, being totally honest. I think he lost his spark anyway back in 2011, so it's well past time for some new eyes, blood, ideas, thinking, IMO. I'm encouraged by what the 16" MacBook Pro represents, just on the keyboard front alone. Get back to proven designs/approaches that work. I'm hoping that's pointing to what we'll see on an updated 13" and other products.
