Well, well. I think this was one of the best WWDCs ever.
The presenters were relaxed and except for Tim Cook's rehearsed usual fact files, I think it went pretty well. Everyone seemed really excited to present their respective segments. Craig Federighi was very relaxed and even funny on several occasions. And he really interacted very well with the audience. This was probably the first event that these guys did a really good job, post Steve Jobs...
The only negative: Too many references about Scott Forstall's skeuomorphic designs. Hey, I kind of liked it and it gave ipad software some character and made it stand out; i.e. the book shelf, notes, and reminders. In fact, I am probably one of the few people who says BRING BACK SKEUMORPHISM! (Did you see the new plain looking notes and calender in iOS and OSX? Uggh!!).
Scott was not the bad guy - O.K. he screwed up on maps and may have been an arrogant control freak, but let's stop beating the dead horse....
The new features of iOS7 and OSX Mavericks look very good indeed along with the new MacPro (not that I'd ever have enough money to buy it). I think Apple is on a roll, both on the hardware and software side.....
