I think we all have common ground here, any desktop that would work more
like the Newt would be a blessing.
Even though I've noticed (much to my surprise BTW) that OS X seems easier to
learn for some new users, it doesn't come close to usability to the Newton
OS :-(
Learned my mom how to send an email with her eMate within 5 minutes,
receiving took 10, and she remembered it too !
But than Apple didn't have the muscle to start a separate OS at that time so
I think that going with the Unix underpinning was very wise.
The sad thing is that I don't think that SJ really realized how good the
Newton OS is, though maybe he does and is just very private about it ;-)

I'm afraid it is ;-)
