&gt; ...over more modern ones.<p>No, for many of us it is not about modern.<p>I love modern. Ubuntus problem is they copied a bunch of Mac-isms for what seems to be no good reason.<p>Now hear me out: I almost love Apple, I just cannot get myself to use their products (OK, did, three years, was happy to get a PC again) and there are a lot of things that should be learned from Mac. Out-of-the-box experience etc.<p>Other Mac-isms are just bad IMO like inconsistent keyboard shortcuts, Alt-Tab that is not a consistent stack etc.<p>Ubuntu copied the dock, moved Window control to the left, messed with the menus and Alt-Tab all while delivering a less impressing OOTB experience (IIRC).
