I see it more as:

Good Apple: some of old Steve J, mostly Steve W, a tiny fraction of
Amelio, mostly new Steve J, Quadras, Powermacs (85xx, x6xx, 73xx, G3, G4,
ANS), Apple II, and various Systems (6.0.8, 7.0.1, 7.5.5, 7.6.1, 8.1,
8.5.1, 9.1, X, and X server 2.0) and software (WebObjects, etc. [ex-NeXT],
Applescript)

Bad Apple: Apple III, Lisa (questionable badness), LC Macs, Performas
(except the 6400 series), most of Sculley, Gassee, and all of Spindler.
Some systems (7.0 I think, 7.5 and 7.5.2?, 8.6, 9.0-9.0.4)

strongest good factors: New Steve, G4, OS X, Apple II, Mac "concept"

strongest bad factors: Spindler, Performas
