And that's where this lost my vote. I don't want my desktop to have built in awareness of my issue tracker. My desktop should have no concept of what an issue tracker even is. Simple tools that compose well to offer complex functionality in the Unix philosophy. Not monolithic design which tries to anticipate and integrate with my development workflow, because it will inevitably get my workflow wrong. I like having these tools as standalone applications, because that means it is very easy to switch from Jira to Redmine, or from Git to Mercurial, or from vim to IntelliJ. I want my desktop to know about serving, resizing, and refreshing windows. I want my web browser to know about rendering html. I do not want my display manager to crash because we upgraded the bugzilla version on our server.
I do have problems with OSX, but they are primarily the result of not having any decent package management system, and is a discussion for another day.
