It appears that for some of those who are fans of Field Notes and Moleskine, the idea that anyone else makes a similar product is offensive. Some of us are drawn more to the simplicity of design than others, and to the simplicity in presentation.
I like the website for Baron Fig. It does make me want to buy the notebooks. I looked at the Moleskine website and have owned Moleskine notebooks in the past and I still think the Baron Fig website makes their products more appealing for all the reasons John stated.
People can detest Apple for whatever reasons they choose, but that approach to marketing is undeniably successful except to those who want to hate them in the first place. But it seems at first blush like just another entrant into a very particular niche.

Baron Fig, of course. Not the kelly green thing. Cracked Monster Party 42 favorite favorite favorite favorite 2 reviews Topic: cracked magazine. Giant Cracked 14 Topic: cracked magazine.

In print, Cracked conspicuously copied Mad's layouts and style, and even featured a simpleminded, wide-cheeked mascot named Sylvester P. Smythe on its covers see Alfred E. A moment of absence could be the minute you spend waiting in line at a grocery store, or the silence of drinking your morning coffee and looking out the window.
Do smartphones prevent us from enjoying those special moments? Make it harder to avoid interruptions or distractions? Certainly our awareness of a phone makes it harder to enjoy that break that a vacation can give you.
