I think this has a lot to do with not having to sell anything to anyone. OSS projects are, in general, less concerned with converting users than commercial software -- you like our project join us and use it else 'meh'. While, it would be nice to have a shinny surface on oss projects, I think it is unnecessary.
As someone who recently (for work) switched from using Linux boxes to a MacBook Pro, I would generally take the less shiny functionality over the pretty pictures any day. (\cough\ keyboard shortcut to lock screen \cough\) :)

- jdthomas 15y agoHOLY CRAP!! Thank you! ... Wow, I must be retarded or not have looked hard enough as the second google result now shows that. :D Anyway Mucho gracias.

- namank 15y agoyeah, no worries. its bit of a hack in itself. I don't get why Apple doesn't implement a more explicit shortcut...maybe because most of their hardware is laptop and with laptops most people probably shut the screen which locks the mac automatically? Who knows!
