The GS brought things to the table (let's start with "color" as the most
obvious) that Macs would spend at least another 3 years dreaming of
being able to do.
Color Quickdraw was in place around the SE era, even though you couldn't
actually see it... and didn't the GS really have to wait until GS/OS
reached 6 - around '89, IIRC, before it was really Mac-like?
Besides, IIgs is '86, and the Mac II is '87...
