    Oh please. Either say why you think your setup is better, or stfu.

    My opinion is that the things you can do on OS X for window management are a whole lot better than anything else out there.

    OS X can have virtual desktops (Virtue), focus-follows-mouse (ctvd), and window functions (tons of different apps) that offer a hell of a lot more options and don't look like ass.

    So yeah, when are we going to see a font that actually doesn't burn the eyes in a *nix setup?

    I want to see Helvetica, Futura, Optima, or Lucidia Grande.

    Of course none of this is practical on windows or mac where the window managers both suck.

    Perhaps for the workflow that you're stuck in, but I'm damn fast with mine. Ever consider trying something new? Not just poking at it for a few minutes, actually learning how to use something new to its fullest?

    Methinks there are a ton of *nix geeks that have bought Macs since OS X came out that would disagree with you.

    I'll save him the trouble:
    VirtueDesktops (free, built off Desktop Manager below)
    CodeTek Virtual Desktop Pro ($40)
    Desktop Manager (free, no longer in development?)

    Though the virtual Desktops in Leopard look to be far more elegant.

    OS X: Virtue Desktops. It's an improved fork (I think) of Desktop Manager, gets regular attention and updates, and if you've got a MacBook or MacBook Pro you can do the "smackbook" thing where tapping the side of your macbook switches desktops. Still not as flexible as my Linux boxen, but prettier and beats the hell out of the crappy MS PowerToy one.
