I personally think Mission Control is pretty excellent, but then, I am running Lion on an Air without an external display. For that use case, Mission Control and the iOS-style features are both significantly more useful than I had any expectation of them being.
You can replace Mission Control with Expose via the preferences, although I'm not sure if it has inherited any of these changes the linked post complains about or if it is in fact the old Expose.
- idan 15y agoExpose doesn't provide spaces.
- smhinsey 15y agoIndeed, but it is not Mission Control.
- idan 15y agoThe problems I outline are with management of windows across spaces and displays; nothing in the post refers to issues with exposé or "finding" windows inside a given space.
- smhinsey 15y agoI just thought it would be useful to point out, in a conversation about Mission Control, that if you don't like it, you can disable it.
- idan 15y agoThat's exactly the point -- I can't disable it, because then I'd lose spaces. If it wasn't clear from the initial post, I'm a fairly heavy user of spaces. :) If I didn't care about spaces, I wouldn't have taken the time to write up a long post detailing how they are broken in MC. Broken spaces are bad, but no spaces are worse.
- smhinsey 15y agoI understand. My main machine has a multimonitor setup with 30'' displays and I have not found anything that can manage the space effectively (pardon the pun) short of xmonad, which I unfortunately can't use for my day job. I didn't post that comment to you, it was more of a general comment to anyone reading the thread who might think "hey, I hate this thing too, but for different reasons!" Like I said, I expected not to like it at all myself for unrelated reasons to yours.
