I get the impression he capitalized everything for emphasis and not because he doesn't know the difference between Mac and MAC.
Mac would lose many developers if this isn't the case
I believe he said 10 or 15 years at the introduction of Mac OS X.
I didn’t see any pictures of Dark Mode though. I wonder how it looks.
Yes, from the pictures they showed, Terminal is still there. iOS is Unix too and has been running on ARM for years.
Ugh, now comes the anxiety, worrying whether my workflow will be able to move to the next big release unimpeded.
As one particular example, I use Terminal a lot and have applescripts to control and open terminal windows for various things. I always wonder if Apple is going to break that.
So many things. I'm glad I have a spare Macbook Pro to try this all on once I can get my hands on the developer beta.

I'm not a fan of all the icons being inside of a little square. Shape plus color in the dock are a god way to know at a glance where/what an app is. (I know safari is round, notes is squarish, etc). I already have trouble finding apps on my iPhone because of this squared button icons look. With just color changes everything blurs together for me.
not addressing any of the problems with Catalina, a few graphics updates and iOSing of the Mac, oh joy. we saw it coming.
The custom silicone only supports it further.

Not all 2013 MBP's apparently, it looks like my early 2013 MBP is just outside the window. (page says "MBP Pro Late 2013 and later")
miimimimimimi the redesign looks like ipad mimimimimi 😢😢😢😢😢
I ****ing love the redesign, finally a modern UI.

Maybe a better question is when will they enable a dev mode on iOS/iPadOS with terminal access.
Honestly, I like everything other than the overly simplified iPad-esque icons.
Could be. I've just had twenty years stuck in my mind for a while now. It's been so long now it's tough to say for certain and I can't find anything about it.
Very strange. They all have Haswell based CPUs so it is surprising to see the 2013 iMac left out.
Sad to see My late 2012 iMac dropped, but expected. Although I’d imagine it can run macOS better than those 2013 MBA/MBPs.
I don't like the white backgrounds on the apps. Keynote, Numbers, etc. just look bad to me. Remove the background, and they'd look fine.
I don’t care if it does a little dance and drinks a little wata, as long as it’s more stable than Catalina. Thats been the worst OS since ever.
I can't believe they don't have a pull down for notifications/dashboard yet on the Mac. Especially now that they revamped the look and feel much more like the iphone. It's annoying that it's only in the top right. I should be able to drag my mouse fast to the top menu bar and then do a two finger pull down and then the notifications quickly pop up over the middle of the screen and then I can quickly flick back up to have them removed. They have expose, so they should really be able to implement this so easily.
Without it being faster, I won't be using it still

That is one unattractive UI. I hope and pray that there is a dark mode.
It's interesting because on the one hand as you say things have gone flatter and more iOS-like - which is a good or bad thing depending on your taste - but then in some areas like the dock icons they've done the opposite and gone more skeuomorphic. So it's now a kind of dodgy looking hybrid of two different design languages. It may grow on me but on first glance I'm not a huge fan overall.
