I can't even begin to describe how happy I am that it's not Mac-like, i.e. not dumbed-down to idiotic Apple UI idoms. I have an IQ above 50 so I don't need "OSX-style" UI for retarded Oklahoma children, thank you very much google for not ruining it. It works exactly as it did on Windows which is... like a hundred years ahead of iPhoto. I'm sorry kids, but Apple should be learning from Picasa how to make usable UIs, not the other way around. I hope this trend of ignoring OSX's idiotic idioms will continue.

I don't have to go back to Windows anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a day... Christmas came late for me this year. :-) I'm sitting here, typing this smiling like a baby.

If google wanted to charge $1K for it, I would have paid it.

While your points are perfectly valid, your tone is distasteful. Do you talk like this in person?
For someone so happy to "[not] have to go back to Windows anymore!!!^69" you're clearly a Mac user. I find it puzzling that you've got such distaste then, for "OSX-style UI for retarded Oklahoma children". If you're so clearly against windows and use OS X and all of the applications it has to offer, aren't you really just saying a bit about yourself here? That or this is purely hypocrisy. For having such hate for "OSX's idiotic idioms", I find it pretty surprising that you use the platform at all.

At least you could have made your frustrations clear in a less vicious manner, and without making yourself look like such a tool.

That's what happens when you post a message 15 minutes after watching a football game, still drunk and excited. Should have known better. Answering your question, I'm on a Mac against my will [a number of reasons] and I rarely use anything else than Safari, Photoshop, vim and bash console.
