I've been using OS X for under a year, and I've run into two major problem that, in my opinion, are completely inexcusable.

* Trying to save files in Pages/Numbers, I get an error "Cannot save file. File does not exist." (Well of course it doesn't exist, I haven't saved it yet!) Lost several hours of work multiple times because I couldn't save files. And that is a total shit error message.

* Trying to move folders on a remote server. I get a dialog that says "Finder wants to make changes" and asks for my admin password. (What changes? WTF?) Files got deleted when moved. And also a total shit 'warning' message.

OS X is far more frustrating and useless than any other OS I've ever used. It doesn't give reasonable error messages, and it doesn't keep your stuff safe. It's a confusing minefield.

As long as everything I do is in a non-Apple application, I can get things done. And don't even get me started on OS X mouse support.

All software sucks. The only reason you think OSX sucks more than other OSs is because you haven't had time to discover the work-arounds for annoying buggy behaviour.

Only on OS X have those bugs involved deleting my data and wasting my money.

Both of your issues have to do with files, and I'm guessing you have some exotic setup, with the remote server and such.

Extrapolating from that experience (which might be entirely to the remote server setup or network issues) is not exactly scientific.

That's the best thing about Windows. It works even for the things that are called 'exotic' in the Mac world (which is a euphemism for 'sloppy programming')

[Retra]

No, the saving issue is stock OS X. I don't have an exotic setup. See: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6043029

The server file deletion might be, but I'm doubtful. In either case, it was OS X that was giving useless error messages. Like this, except I wasn't moving it to trash:

My MBP tends to lose connection with my external trackpad after coming back from sleep. In fact, Bluetooth stops responding entirely.

The only way to fix it AFAIK is to reboot. (Doesn't that remind you of Windows?)

My colleagues have encountered the same issue.

[coldtea]

Sounds like that could be trivially solved by restarting bluetooth.

In any case, it's not something that ever affected me.

[Gigablah]

Trust me, I've tried restarting Bluetooth. It doesn't work.

Also, stay classy, downvoters.

Really, totally out of my understanding. Even if you are listing facts, but just because they happen to be against the revered MBP, you get downvoted.
