I guess I don't understand why people think the OSX UI is so good. I
find myself swearing at it every day for really stupid crap that it does
like terminal key bindings, case-insensitive file naming, etc.

Basically all UI's suck at this point but you pick what you pick and
adapt to using what's there as best as you can. For me, KDE 4 presents
the least amount of interference.

Now that the corporate e-mails have come out on what we need to do to
protects ourselves against 'Mac Defender', I'm convinced that OSX is
toast.
