I've said it before and I'll say it again: Tog commenting on the Dock is not reason enough to include it in the article. But bottom line, even if at one time people took to the dock with unease, it is now very popular and is no longer criticized. I've used other dock software, and they "suffer" from the same issues as the OS X dock, so if its going to be there at all, it applies to the whole article now, not just one section.

This was taken up in Windows, Linux, and SunOS as 3rd party software (as it states in the article), and what he said about the OS X dock applies no more to 10.4 and 10.5 as it does to RocketDock and the others. And seven years ago, when he wrote it, the OS X dock was the only place there was a dock. If its no longer criticized, why include it? Is there still a criticism section on the Dirgible article, since in the 1900s those aircrafts were loud and bothered people? I guess "non sequitor" is just because its pretty meaningless or insignificant, maybe because it goes into too much detail for one source. "At the time it was widely repeated"? First, please show me other sources.

I believe "out of the loop" means that he was fired. AlistairMcMillan ( talk) 18:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC) How about waiting for another editor's opinion? Right you you're 1-to-2. BTW I've removed the vote because we are supposed to seek consensus for article content, not votes.

The criticism is clearly framed as criticism of the Mac OS X dock which it is. And what the hell is "non sequitor" about. What the hell does "out of the loop" mean? At the time he made the criticism it was widely repeated. By all means put them in an article about him (and even add a sentence here linking to them), but don't take up a whole section of this article with them. In this case, his observations are even pretty obscure. Tog is pretty much out of the loop now, and his objections don't automatically carry the weight they once did. I'm just trying to remove something that's pretty much a non sequitur from the article and see that it gets put in right place. No "fanboy" here attempting anything like "whitewash". AlistairMcMillan ( talk) 03:26, 15 February 2008 (UTC) You're projecting your personal prejudice (and some elaborate reasoning) into a perfectly simple case. Jesus Christ I thought I was an Apple fanboy. I'm frankly disgusted with the way that any criticism of Mac OS X is being systemically removed from Wikipedia. The dock was widely criticised for the first few years.

I agree that it should not be here, nor anywhere else on Wikipedia (except, maybe, if an entire article was made about the OS X dock, in which case it might merit a 1-2 sentence comment). However, that is just one notable man-who-worked-on-the-previous-MacOS-GUI-and-thus-has-POV's non-wildly-followed, largely irrelevant, outdated opinions, and so people are removing it from here, too. It was placed here instead, since, if anywhere, this is the most relevant location for that particular criticism. It was originally located in the OS X article, but since it was a minor criticism that didn't necessarily apply to all versions of OS X, it was removed (except for a note in the context of the article). I noticed that the section about the criticism of the dock (specifically in OS X) has been removed/added a couple times in a minor edit-war.
