I know that as programmers/hackers, we're supposed to never use the mouse, but the biggest thing that I've recently started to appreciate with macs is how good the drag and drop system is.
Some examples:
- If you want to open a file with a certain application, drag it to that application in the dock.
- If you want to send a url to your friend, drag the url onto the mail app.
- If you want to get a folders path in the terminal, drag the folder into the terminal window.
- If you want to move a file into a folder in finder, hover over that folder for a few seconds, and you'll see a new window spring up with the contents. You can navigate deep trees quite quickly, without needing to know where you're going at the outset (did I want to put this in Personal/ or in Vacation Photos/?)
This behavior has really spoiled me, and is probably the thing I miss the most when I need to use Windows for more than a few hours.
