#2Wow, unbelievable that it was designed in 2001! It still looks fresh and modern, although maybe a bit too playful so that it appears a bit childish? But only barely.
It appears to have all the basic functionality expected from a modern operating system, I instantly feel right at home although I've never used it.
I find the review terrible though, one of the major changes was the user interface, revolutionary I would say. It's way more important than wether the GUI configuration options are well thought out or not.

Where's the childish part? Didn't notice anything.

#4Having never actually interacted with a mac from that era, are the grey and white stripes in the toolbar screenshots actually visible on the screen or are they an artifact of old screenshots on modern displays?

They are visible. It was a design element throughout the UI at the time.

Feels playful because everything else from that era was ugly in my opinion

IIRC they were part of the "theme".

They were definitely visible as part of the default theme, and you can see this replicated in the other desktop environment themes that mimic this, for e.g.: https://store.kde.org/p/1290811

I really liked that look. The first iOS versions also had a similar pattern in the background: https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/setting-custom-...

I wouldn't call XP (Luna) theme ugly. It wasn't as clean as Windows2k but it was just fine.
