I'm a power user and I like it, except for application centric alt+tab and top menu bar. That is a non-starter for me. Going to use something else.

- morsch 15y agoIt's easy to disable the global menu bar (though I haven't tried it myself, so caveat emptor). E.g. see http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-install... sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt Had to disable it for Firefox the other day, and it's really annoying to have to go back to a window-hosted menu bar. I guess I really ought to get a mac.
- mtts 15y agoI hated application centric alt+tab when I first started using OSX but after a few days I got used to it. Now I prefer it.
- com 15y agoI think the nice thing for me is that it creates a hierarchical method of finding my next activity - app > window > tab The MS Windows-specific alt+tab model means way too many things to choose from without context. What I'd love in Mac OS X is a standard way that I could drill in - with enough context - using keyboard short cuts to window and then tab level. Perhaps something like that exists, but I haven't found the consistent way of doing it yet!
- silon3 15y agoFor me, it's essential that I can fluidly switch between last 2-3 or even 4 windows, no matter what they are. (I regularly move tabs into new window in firefox when I need to do this).
- kablamo 15y agoFor those that don't like it, the alt+tab behavior can be changed back to the traditional style in the CompizConfig Settings Manager. Try using the static workspace switcher.
