> there's a lot of dumb things in OSX that should've been fixed but weren't because MS did it therefore it is not elegant by definition.

Yeah I think that sorta sums up lots of the issues I see. Over a few OS X revision you'll see Apple circling around the solution, which was solved in Windows decades ago, but refusing to do it because it's solved in Windows. The result is a hodgepodge of conflicting half-ideas that doesn't create an elegant or productive computing experience.

For evidence look at the grueling 20 year battle Apple has had with Maximizing/minimizing a window/app.
