First, apologies on the confusion on Unix. That was my fault.

> is supported by major companies, but even that is going away, so there is less incentive.

I meant that companies supporting OS X, not Unix. The two reasons were:

1) Unix 2) OS X support

The second point is what I meant was going away. I see companies that matter to me supporting OS X less and less. The latest company to do so is Blizzard. Again, apologies for the confusion.

As for the windowing issue, I have to download a third party app to handle most of the stuff I get for free on every other major and many non-major windowing systems from a decade ago. This includes snapping and auto sizing and moving windows among monitors.

Couple this with OS X's horrible support for external monitors on it's laptops. Several times a week I have issues when I disconnect my mac. Either my sees a phantom monitor that is not there and so windows still exist there that I can't reach or bring over. I have to close the lid and open it up again.

The full screen support is still an absolute insult. And the when they changed what the stop light did and made it maximize is annoying.

The only reason people started using their computers again was because of Unix.
