Re: your first point - I was highly disappointed with Lion when I was finally allowed to upgrade to it. I do not understand this habit of designers for changing UIs and "how things work" at random new updates. Apple has joined Microsoft and Gnome in this horrible idea. Do these people not understand the concept of "muscle memory"? Each new change to look and feel means the users have to break out of their old motor learning and start anew.
