I've been thinking about getting a Mac for the hardware/battery lifetime. As a long-time Linux user, I like the fact that it has the Unix toolchain, and with rootless X I can probably continue avoiding paying for software. But I really don't like the idea of that global menubar. Every time I use OS X I get into a situation where the topmost window is not the active application and things get weird. But I said the same thing about VI and I got addicted. Does anyone who initially disliked the OS X menubar have any opinions about it after a while of usage?

- cschneid 17y agoThis actually appears to be a bug my girlfriend runs into with Spaces and Office 2004 and Snow Leopard. But yeah, I've never seen it anywhere else. (word window on top, spaces out, spaces in, word window draws below the top, but in every other way thinks it's on top. An expose fixes)
