That's true. That said, menu bars are become so full these days that a lot of times I need to use the Help menu bar search to find some function I'd like to use. > i don't want my visual context constantly disrupted by switching to "control > screens" or back and forth between full screen apps; If you don't want to use full-screen apps I'm hoping you will pretty much be able to work the way you work today (as far as I understand that). Personally, I would hope they would leave in the traditional Exposé mode as well but I think it's being combined into the all-in-one Mission Control. That said, Mission control doesn't seem that bad. It's just providing extra options (Dashboard and fullscreen apps) and grouping windows by application (which may help finding the window you are looking for). > here we are at an important turning point; can we trust the reinvention of > the UI to Apple's secret labs? Not the reinvention / replacement but a new one in addition to the old one, just as the command line isn't going away any time soon, I don't think the traditional GUI will either.
