Fun fact: the World Wide Web originated on NeXT machines.

NeXT also popularized the concept of object-oriented GUI toolkits, 
including “Interface Builder”, a GUI tool to allow you to construct GUIs 
for your own apps.

The NeXT UI was widely regarded as one of the nicest looking around, even 
in monochrome. Remember, the company was founded by Steve Jobs; with his 
track record, he was eminently qualified to claim that Microsoft’s Bill 
Gates had “no taste”.

And to top it off, consider that many of the NeXT ideas ended up in Mac OS 
X.
