That doesn't matter. Conceptual integrity is more important than you having to relearn some habits.

No, it means breaking the conceptual integrity of the desktop as it implemented on OS X. Once you start mixing things up ,that's when it gets confusing. Unlearn your Windows habits.

Yes, it does.

It's not about habits at all. I haven't made that argument once, you're assuming that is the case here. Stop doing that. It's a really, really weak argument and an obvious straw-man.

Conceptual integrity is important, but OS X doesn't have any conceptual integrity in the area of window management. It's absolutely and totally illogical.

> Unlearn your Windows habits.

There is no habit here. Windows window management is logical, consistent and generally preferred by most people over the way OS X does things.

You need to learn how to think about things more logically.

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's illogical, it just means you don't understand it. Learn.

Obviously you think it's hard to understand, so I guess I win.
