> People cared about consistent look and feel back then, everyone was hating on java because it got it wrong

That does not jive with my memories - and I remember WinAmp, MusicMatch Jukebox and Nero Burning ROM vividly.




I remember that too, I never said people were consistent. Get the order of menus wrong and you were the devil incarnate, write your own gui toolkit and everyone fondly remember you twenty years on (in the case of winamp, music match and nero were reviled).


> in the case of winamp, music match and nero were reviled

Heresy! WinAmp was much-loved. This is the first time I'm hearing anything but love for WinAmp - it was the best music player/organizer at the time, and they added Milkdrop as bonus


I think he's actually saying that it got winamp loved, but music match and nero reviled.
