Love the (lack of) scrollbars. My perfect OS would have no visible window chrome at all, no edges, no title bar, no buttons, nothing other than my work. The other bits would fade in as needed, then disappear again. not sure how exactly though...

It seems like your perfect WM is a tiling one. :)

    As an XMonad user, I can attest to the fact that it is indeed nirvana.

  actually, no. My window management is like my desk - loads of crap everywhere, but I know where everything is and can get it it quickly (most of the time...) Ever used Quicktime X? That's what I want :)

But I like the Ubuntu scrollbars better. There is at least a small line showing there is more content. The reviewer is also surprised to see he is "missing" some programs (scrollbar is missing). I think this is a bad UI decision.

  yeah, I like what Ubuntu have done too. Same idea, different solution (probably better, imho) I thought about the "bad ui" thing, and I can see where this coulf be confusing, but tonight (it's almost midnight here) I'm being selfish and voting for no scrollbars just because that's what I like. Of course I'll have to reconsider this later when my father-in-law rings me up saying almost all his documents has gone.

  What his screenshot doesn't show is that Finder does show the scrollbar for a couple seconds to indicate to the user that he/she can scroll to see more.

    So why not show it all the time then? This is a great example of putting design above usability.

Look at a tiling window manager on Linux. No title bar, nothing to grab on to the resize or anything like that. Just simply the content displayed.

You could run all your apps in Lion in full-screen mode and move among them with swipes...
