Well, some time ago I've heard a Linux user complain about Apple not sticking to the File System Hierarchy Standard (www.pathname.com/fhs/). Similarly some Ruby users complain that Ruby is not getting installed in the usual location (which sometimes seems to be responsible for some pathname & file location issues - though there is a Ruby package called pathname2 that could facilitate a compliance with the FHS). Are there any specific reasons why Apple opted for this file location strategy?
Anyway. Mac OS X is a great OS that combines may things many many users have longed for for a very long time (state-of-the-art GUI and graphics/video capabilities, to name but a few, combined with a flexible, user-controllable Unix underpinning).
Another interesting window manager btw is Witch (www.petermauerer.de).
