I just switched from ubuntu (after 8years) to macosx (iMac) and I am disappointed. My Mom uses Ubuntu since 4years now btw., even her Canon printer works.

Macs don't just work.

I wanted to sftp into my servers. It took me 3 different tuts to implement a feature linux just have. The CiscoVPN still not working for me, needs a shared secret, which linux didn't.

And then the finder, wtf? I couldn't believe it - no tabs, no split view - it's 2013 apple.

iCloud is not intertwined with filesystem as Ubuntu One shows - right click files/folders and sync it.

And the keyboard-layout is borderlining ridiculous- let's just make it different than all other established OS do. Key "End" and "Pos1", instead those 4 (page)up/down keys just seem to jump to absolut end/start. @-kymbol on L - why? Pipe-symbol, lets just hide that.




I know many people use total finder instead of the native one.

Everyone I know who does serious computer work uses brew for stuff like cli sftp

iCloud is quite meh
