[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1347990, member: 71075"] I missed this earlier but I couldn't agree more. I don't have many windows open at once but when I do, having them grouped together does me no good especially if I'm not plugged into my external monitor (and am thus limited to a 13" screen). Here's a perfect example of this: [ATTACH=FULL]16543[/ATTACH] Someone, somewhere, thought that this was reasonable. How am I supposed to get to that last Vim window way in the back? Now, this isn't a huge problem for me since most of the applications I use are MDI/TDI apps but the few times that I need multiple windows, I find myself having to contend with this. On the whole, I like Lion (or at worst, I don't dislike it). I still despise the "scrollbars", I don't like the removal of "Save As" (yes, I know I can export but why make the change?) and I can't play StarCraft anymore (that's pretty minor, haha) but I have little else to seriously complain about. Many of the features are of no use to me (Launchpad) and this is why I've come to think of Lion as akin to SL - an evolution of an already fine product. There are two things wrong with this thinking though: they've gone backwards in some respects and for OS X to remain competitive in an operating system ecosystem where the dominant player is taking risks (Windows 8), Apple needs to step up. Perhaps then the best way to explain my feelings is to say that I'm ambivalent but content. How's that for indecisiveness? ;) [/QUOTE]
