This was how I felt about NeXT computers, even after they were obsolete in pure hardware terms they were still YEARS ahead in software.

My first close contact with Objective-C was in 1998, as I had to port an particle visualization framework from NeXT to Windows 95/C++, as my final project.

The teacher had a dead Cube on his office and NeXT was considered dead by the department.

I tried long to replicate some of the experience with WindowMaker/AfterStep and GNUStep but it never felt like what I could see from the NeXT manuals.
