Some additions: no more allowing apps to steal focus, especially while typing; fix the Mac AppStore or ditch it; fix or kill "All My Files", it's useless and annoying that it's the default; separate iTunes from iPhone syncing; keep apps from popping up when peripherals are plugged in / or fully charge up and turn on (like an iPhone/iPad); please fix Safari (crashes like craaaazy [and Chrome eats my battery]).
I'm tired of my OS letting applications surprise me, popups, or modals stealing my focus.
Tired of twenty damn windows opening up everytime I plug in an iPhone—I know I can do this per device, but as a developer it's very painful.
My OS not surprising me and apps not stealing focus was a big reason why I was able to motivate myself to switch to OSX in the first place.
Thanks for stressing out on stealing focus! This is a complete nonsense that's pretty much omnipresent in OSes. How many time I've been typing a password when an app steals the input focus, and the password or parts of it gets posted where it shouldn't (I type it and press Enter mechanically).
Also, I don't think Apple will ever fix Mac App Store as it wants to keep its huge cut, and app developers will always find cheaper marketplaces such as MacUpdate.
It's ridiculous that I need to have the Mac App Store, MacUpdate, and Homebrew to do something as basic as installing apps and system components! I'm sure if Apple reduces its cut, it will get more revenue because many major apps have fled its App Store. On the phone your can twist arms, but not on the desktop!
The notification popups need to have a close button and be transparent! Sometimes they cover up important screen real estate; I can't see what's below, and I can't close them.
The inability to search within the current folder is also a joke! Sometimes a have thousands of files and search is global - just ridiculous!
Maybe I don't know how to do these things; maybe there's a way to do these things, but it's definitely not intuitive!
Is is new, like in Lion or newer? Focus-stealing was one of the things that made me leave Windows for a Mac in the first place. It's definitely a pain point for me today on OSX.
