Sort of.  Why does everyone forget NeXTSTep?

Even Apple, Inc. seems to want people to forget all about NeXT, Inc.'s
code and history, and the fact that it's the reason OS X has many of
the weirdnesses it still does.  They're still cranking out that
propaganda about hiring all of those guys cut loose when WindRiver
folded, and pretending as if OS X is and maybe always has been a shiny
FreeBSD with a Macintoy user interface.
