I completely agree, and I'd also like to add my frustration at the "space switching" animations in OS X. Spaces seem like a really great idea/productivity-paradigm, and I'd love to take advantage of them, were it not for the irritating ~1/2 second delay in switching. I'm so used to Cmd-Tab being instantaneous that this grates beyond acceptability. While I'm here, I might as well call out my primary OS X UX bugbear (in the hopes that some wise soul has found a solution for it). If I hold Cmd, press Tab a couple of times, keep Cmd held down, and mouseover the icon box, the active icon "jumps" to the icon under the pointer. This can lead to the counter-intuitive experience of "Hold Cmd, press Tab, realise you want to stay on the same program, press shift-tab, release Cmd" NOT being a no-op. Equally, I'll sometimes start moving the mouse to the right position on the screen before, or while, pressing Cmd-Tab - if the mouse path intersects the icon box, I end up on the wrong program. Anyone know how to disable this?
