"...you'll accidentally delete one of your photos that way.."
Now you know, that's what I am hating about Apple right now. From hiding the Library folder, forcing reopening of apps and docs after I restart (talking Lion here - and yes I know they FINALLY fixed that. But it only took the 6 updates), to wifi dropping on the MBAir, STILL not being able to easily change the system font, low-end accessibly features (especially when compared to Windows), control the keyboard to prevent me from "accidents" - most of what I've learned about OS' came from fixing my mistakes! And you know, maybe I WANT TO delete photo's that way.
Look it boils down too: after 20 years on mac I am getting damn tired of this recent trend to of holding my hand and telling me how to use the machine.
Every new update of OSX = less control of my desktop. Now I spend most of my time in terminal. So what's the point of having a mac? I can buy a high end pc that will also last me 5 years and do what I want.
Controlling me on the phone is one thing. On my machine is another. Now I'm running Windows on my mac. That's how pissed I am about this.
Apple needs to add a dummy switch. They can call it what they want, "Enhanced desktop experience" - whatever. But something I can check (OFF). Cause not every one who uses a mac needs his hands held.
- shadesandcolour 14y agoIf it was the other way around I bet you'd be complaining that you accidentally deleted some photos by hitting the delete key. Reaching over and hitting one extra key should not cause you this many problems. After 20 years of using a Mac I would hope that you know that the Command key really is your best bet at doing something, the same way that the control key works on windows. I'd also hope that after 20 years you would have found the keyboard preference pane. Unhidding the library folder takes one line in terminal, you could even set up a launchd job to run it every day so that you're sure that you aren't missing it. If you spend that much time in the terminal you would have looked up how to change the problems you're having with some easy defaults commands.

"spend that much time in the terminal you would have looked up how to change the problems you're having with some easy defaults commands" I know already. My point is I should not have to do type out commands with every install. A simple checkbox in preferences would be a better approach; allowing us "power users" to stay power users.
