If you are thinking of only OsX world, yeah they have never changed for the last 30 or more years, but the world is not only osx. I'm not a single desktop user, I occasionally switch between boxes and only OsX makes my motor memory to fail.
I'm sorry but I can't think of Terminal as a decent Terminal emulator.
Not having a maximize button invalidates my criticism but brings another one of unfamiliar titlebar choices.
I'm not trolling, I'm speaking of defaults.
"I'm sorry but I can't think of Terminal as a decent Terminal emulator."
Well I'm sorry but unless you explain exactly what the shortcomings are to stop it being 'decent' your comments are nothing more than trollish bigotry. You are just coming across as arrogant and ignorant.
Not sure what you mean by common denominator shortcuts, but if you mean things like Quit/Cut/Paste/Print/Save/New/Undo then you're dead wrong. Exists, and largely unchanged for nearly 30 years. And they're highly consistent. If it's a menu command, it's the command key.
Mac OS X does not lack a decent terminal emulator. You might have missed it, the program is called Terminal.
You might be right about the package managers, but many people would disagree with you.
There is no maximize button.
You installed Firefox and Thunderbird, so what's the problem? Are you trolling now?
