Comment on Why is Windows still bloated
riskable@programming.dev 2 days agoMacOS wasn’t rewritten, it was ported. It’s now bigger than before.
Whoah there! Mac OS was entirely rewritten from scratch (based upon some combination of FreeBSD and NextSTEP) when Steve Jobs rejoined Apple. Or are we pretending the eternal shame of Mac OS 7 never happened?

The OP said the Intel to Apple Silicon transition. That was after OS X. Nor was the earlier Mac OS a rewrite but adding a different GUI to Next step and calling it Mac OS X.
