Having a Desktop that works 99% of the time, and isn't made by amateur hour volunteers that either let things stagnate for ages (GTK+), or change their ideas every second month (from UI direction to media framework), is not "GUI frippery". Except if you spend all your time buried in the command line to begin with.
The only bad things about OS X are due to the proprietary and closed nature of some of the components (and the older versions used for some unix userland stuff). Implementation and experience wise, the whole desktop is miles ahead of Gnome/KDE.
Even Miguel De Icaza agrees, and he's the one of the handful who bloody started "Desktop Linux".
- Gigablah 14y agoAs a MBP owner, I'm hard pressed to find anything more frustrating to use than the OSX Finder.
- pretoriusB 14y agoAny specific problem with it? A lot of people complain about the Finder because other people do so. I've used Unices since Sun OS days. I've used Linux for 15 years (from RedHat 5 and Mandrake to Ubuntu 12.04). I've used Windows for 6 years. I've used Macs for 8 years. What exactly is the problem with the Finder compared to what's offered on the other platforms? Specific, measurable, gripes. Not "it feels slow" junk.
