I personally can't stand OSX. I find everything to be needlessly turned into something confusing, that's supposed to be "helpful." Like instead of easily having the "file" or preferences menu attached to a program, moving it away from the program, so it sits up on the top left, taking up where there should be apple's version of a start bar? Why make something more complicated than it should be? Why make everything visual, when it ends up becoming less efficient or convoluted? Why not just have a regular desktop to place things on, instead of the oversized interactive menu at the bottom of the screen which takes up extra space? Why not just have very easy to use max/minimize buttons on every program? --------------
To each his own---but it's not as simple as "once you go Apple, you never go back." I really enjoy the ability to customize everything, and I often find it harder on Macs. Personal experience, though.
My point isn't that OSX is incapable of these things; everything I listed, Apple has its own version of. But they seem to take something simple, give it a few extra colors and a smooth animation, add a few limitations and inability to customize, and then they brand it as "simplicity."
