Ironically
> Macintosh competed with Lisa and ultimately became the favored computer for its lower price and open software ecosystem
The Mac originated as a cut-down Lisa.
It's not some ironic competitor. It was a later machine, built on the back of lessons learned from the Lisa's failure.
A lot of desirable stuff was lost: multitasking, app development in a high-level language (and a type-safe one at that!), expansion slots etc.
And less desirable stuff: the template-oriented template and creator paradigm. Radical, innovative, but confusing. The Mac went with a much simpler, more conventional, documents-and-apps model, in the traditional CP/M and DOS style.
But you're right. :-)
