[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1348710"] Despite some criticism (some of it quite fair), I think the iOS-like changes to most things in Lion that got that treatment were very intelligent choices that, with an OPEN MIND, will increase productivity. That's not to say Lion is not without a few missteps (the "gray or grayer" soft-gray choices in window titles are too hard for many of us to distinguish, making us think that something is "grayed out" when in fact its clickable or active for example), but by and large the improvements to Lion are exactly that: improvements. Change doesn't come easy to some people, but that is what technology is all about. If you want a good, VERY THOROUGH summary what is and is not better in Lion, I'd point you to the ridiculously long and detailed [URL="http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2011/07/mac-os-x-10-7.ars"]Ars Technica summary[/URL] (a good chance to use the very cool "reader" and Reading List features of Safari). I agree with nearly everything they said there and they are widely seen as tough but fair. (bearing in mind that it's now outdated with two updates that addressed some of what they point out.)
