Haha, very true. At one point there was this perfection in the Ubuntu desktop where I could do wonderful things like pick up a window with the pointer and do keyboard shortcuts to move workspaces and the window would travel with me and stuff like that. It felt so natural that I didn't realize I was doing it till one day I upgraded and it went away. I suspect it was some emergent property of the subsystems that wasn't specifically written for because I don't think it exists anymore.

OS X is like that. So many of the gestures are so natural that you just do them without thinking and I only notice when they're gone.
