One of my fave things with the BeOS was that it was consistent.
Windows manages that for the most part (apart from some Open Source
apps like the Gimp) but I'd much rather see everything using the
native Haiku API. The Be API was the best I've ever used, I've been
using .Net recently and it's just not nearly as intuitive.
