Macnification

Drew McCormack from MacResearch.org wrote an interesting article about the relevance of user interface design in scientific applications. Introducing the Papers generation, McCormack lauds Papers and Macnification for their attention to the user experience. He argues that by making the tools more attractive and easy to use, scientists will be far more efficient. We can't agree more, of course. Moreover, we think Drew is totally right when he attributes this new wave of scientific apps on Mac OS X to the elegance and ease of use of Cocoa and its NeXT predecessor. An insightful article.
