Sure it's not a major update but it is the little things that makes an OS great. After being a long time power Windows user, switching to Mac OS made me realize how the little things can really improve productivity and workflows.


I'd argue that it is a major update when you consider the security features and a whole new paradigm for saving files. To me is seems like the beginning of a bright future.


No they don't ... if you spent this much time with your OS you are doing it wrong, sorry.


You know, some jobes are done on things called computers. And OS pretty much is required for them to be useful. And then when you spend some eight hours (too much, according to you) each day, small details suddenly are not so small and unimportant.


The GP didn't put it very eloquently but he has a point. Most days I start with booting my computer, start one application and the browser and do all my work in those.

When that happens I really don't care about the amount of polish the window manager has.


As if spending 5 minutes picking up some tips is a big outlay?


That isn't what I meant and I myself do read the docs. But: if YAGNI then YAGNI.
