dsrtaoThe developers at $WORK use either Macs or Linux as they desire, so I have been issued a MacBook Pro to use as my traveling laptop.
Good points:
- hardware build quality is excellent
- I like the illumination of the keyboard
- acceptably speedy
- Mac OS is still easy to pick up in 45 seconds or less
Bad points:
- where are all my logs?
- for that matter, where are all the files? Does Mac have an FHS document to peruse?
- no option for focus-follows-pointer
- an awful lot of excess chrome; it's almost as bad as GNOME2
