How so - what exactly are you missing?

You have the basic Cocoa interface with accessibility features. You have OS X' default helpers, mostly the "Help" menu that allows you to search for menu items. You have AppleScriptability for lots of apps, even some third-party apps written by "designer" folks like Things. Then there is Automator. And below all that, you are free to do whatever you want from the Terminal.



OS X has several problems:

* I can't multitask as efficiently as in Linux or Windows (it has several reasons).

* Most windows can't be maximized (perhaps there's an app for this).

* Select text to copy and paste with middle click doesn't work.

* Full font hinting can't be set. Linux has better font rendering than OS X / Windows (if configured properly).

* The whole system feels too closed and constrained. In Linux, I know that if there's something I don't like, I can usually fix it.
