Not another Steve good, Woz bad myth.
With Woz at the helm, Apple would have gone the way of Commodore and Atari, it's a good thing he got out.

Not another Steve good, Woz bad myth.

With Woz at the helm you probably would have ended up with a completely open hardware computer company.
What would have Jobs been?
With Woz at the helm he would have worked on the Apple II architecture until the company went down, same fate as Commodore which didn't drop the Amiga and Atari which didn't drop the ST.
So what? The world got more benefit from c64s and vic20s than all the iProducts together.
An Apple that made little more than the AppleII and ran it's course would have been a perfectly fine thing.
We would all be far richer for having 20 different companies in place of the Apple we got.
"The world got more benefit from c64s and vic20s"
I started coding in 1981 on an VC20, learned a lot from it, but wonder how did the world benefit more from vic20s?
As a happy smartphone user, I think the world did benefit a lot e.g. from the Newton (loved mine, dropped a Palm for it, sad it died, but it was too heavy).
Probably would have just been Microsoft
