Wait, OSX is loosing its desktop metaphor? Did I miss something? And since when is the desktop metaphor essential to mouse / keyboard control?

  Having used Mountain Lion, I'd argue its more bringing mobile innovations and things that are successful there to the desktop. To be honest the desktop hasn't fundamentally changed much for a long time so its nice to see something new and being tried. That said, I'm not the biggest of fans.

    I know it doesn't work well for multi-displays, but I freakin' love Command Center on my laptop when I'm not near an auxiliary monitor... so they got something a little right at least.

      It is nice, and I'll admit, full screen applications with command center are quite nice. Its great having a full screen terminal with tmux running, chrome, xcode, etc... I agree its one thing done right. And then there is Finder... but at least I have the shell, if only I could keep Finder dead or at least not visually running I'd be happier.

        From a brief stint using Xmonad, I just wish there was a way to switch between full screened apps without the animation.. If you assign a key and switch rapidly between say, a browser and a terminal, it can get a bit much sliding back and forth..
