Both root comments so far complain about the UI changes - I really don't get it. I've switched between OSX, Win, Linux, and the button issue is trivial (OSX has top left buttons). I couldn't give two shits about whether to yank the mouse to the top right or top left to close a window. Mostly I use alt-space or ctrl-w/q for window control anyway. Foreign languages have slightly different keyboard layouts and it takes about 30 seconds to adjust (motor memory ftw). What I care about are the fundamentals - hardware (sound, brightness, video driver support, battery life). The availability of quality software and ease of installing/removing it (cleanly) - mostly great. The same people who learn arcane vi/emacs/cli syntax complain about moving their mouse to the opposite corner - please! I've been running Ubuntu 9.10 exclusively for a while now, and besides hardware support issues (nvidia driver crashing X), shitty sound (midi, and the kde vs. gnome way of handling sound), and Adobe Flash/Air suckage I haven't had any complaints. Win7 feels far worse. In fact, just install kubuntu and be done with it. UI-wise: KDE => like Window, Gnome => like OS X - pick your poison. |

I use vim, but the arcane syntax makes using it significantly faster. Moving buttons doesn't do this.
I'm glad you always use keyboard shortcuts for window control, given that can you see perhaps see that your point of view on this feature as being inconsequential is not very relevant due to the fact that you do not use it much at all?
