[MLUG - DISCUSSION] MacOS - eww

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Just to take a different opinion than everyone else.. I'm being forced 
to program on OS X for the first time. My new job uses an OS X desktop. 
Argh it's painful. Even if you turn off the annoying things like the 
magnification on the dock bar it's still not very user friendly. It has 
the longtime Mac-ness of putting the app control across the top of the 
screen. Pretty damn annoying. Then it won't let you put the dock at the 
top of the screen. So far I've been unable to disable all the stupid 
little animations that go along with minimizing windows. I was unable to 
figure out how to pick a color of my own choice for the desktop. There 
is something horribly wrong with the home, end, page up, and page down 
keys in many apps. Resetting these keys in one app doesn't seem to 
transfer to all apps. Cutting and Pasting may be even more annoying than 
it is in Windows. The terminal program doesn't support tabs. Programs 
appear to open lots of windows (that tend to overlap) but you can't 
alt-tab between all those windows. For some reason Mozilla's 
middle-click to open a link in a tab seems broken although I did make it 
work in Safari. Safari is overall okay but it has CSS rendering bugs 
that not even IE had. The file manager doesn't remember my choice 
between different locations.. it must be set per location.

Okay, that was my whine list for today. I did however like the active 
corners and the F9-F11 features.
