I don't know apple, could you maybe stop spending all your time on the aesthetics of your OS and actually fix some real problems? How about the fact that SMB doesn't work [1], or that you've broken large parts of Dtrace? How about not panicking when someone plugs in an external monitor, or providing symbols for core dumps [2]? This is the reason no one uses Mac OS X for anything serious.

I use it all the day, everyday, and I'm doing serious things on it. I can't see how using Linux or Windows will help me better. But you're right, OS X is a consumer focused OS with a strong emphasis on look & feel. For the better, or for the worse. At the moment, and during my 6 years using it, I only saw the better.

I'd just love them to fix iMessage so that it works in something approaching a sane way. Messages "don't send" but appear on other devices, messages that are "delivered" never left my device, you still can't search your messages without a third party tool, attachments are deleted on file but not on disk..

I highly doubt the engineers responsible for Dtrace are designing icons.

  No, but there's still a decision made at some level in the organization which affects the sizes and budgets of the respective teams.

    Increasing a software development team's size and budget does not necessarily speed up their software development.

    Sure. And I don't know anyone who would prioritise fixing DTrace who a handful of people in the world care about over refreshing the look and feel which affects everyone.

Connecting to wifi has been driving me crazy for a while now, it usually takes 3 attempts to get onto my home wifi. I've followed every guide out there that claims to fix this, but the problem persists. Considering you have to connect to wifi every time you open the lid this puts a real dampener on the overall experience.

>This is the reason no one uses Mac OS X for anything serious. Nice work dismissing the work that tens of millions of people do every day. That said, SMB and external monitor support work fine for me and everyone in our company (few hundred Macs).

  >tens of millions of people work on OSX And what are you smoking? I don't expect hacker Jews to criticize apple, but the new icons are shit just like iOS 7. They have no taste, generic, psuedo "flat", bright shitty colors. It's a joke, Linux has better icon packs as long as you don't have a retina display which still is in gimmick mode anyway. sigh There is no direction at Apple anymore, they don't know what's cool. They are all too middle aged and content to make anything revolutionary. They need a rabbid 15 year old to tell them they are shit on a daily basis AKA Steve Jobs
