FWIW, the three main annoyances I find with the OSX Way are: - having to keep shoving the mouse pointer up to the top of the screen and back again-- pretty tiring with a trackpad, and OSX doesn't have much in the way of direct keyboard access to menus; - having to focus an application before I can access its menus-- with GNOME, I can click directly on any menu in any application (provided it's not hidden) and have it gain focus at the same time; - occasionally not realising I don't have the application focused that I thought I had, and being surprised at the contents of the File/View/Edit/whatever menu as a result.
