I'm coming to this late, but it looks to me as if the list got into a
nightmare mode a bit prematurely. What the article actually talks about is a
way to create apps which can be used across 'desktop' and mobile operating
systems - specifically *not* about merging those operating systems.
In short, a very approximate way of describing the idea would be... LiveCode.
We code an app with a text field and a button; on the desktop our users click
the button with the mouse, on mobile they touch it. On desktop they click into
the field and start typing on their keyboard; on mobile they touch the field
and a soft keyboard appears. Apple are just trying to help the rest of the
developer community catch up with us.
Shouldn't we panic less? Or have I missed something?

*shudder*
I'd be back on FreeBSD in a couple of days.
It's Spotlight and the power management on portables that has me using
mac as my unix platform. OK, and iCloud Drive now.
Mess with those (and spotlight has seriously regressed over the last
ten years) and I'm gone.
