Popup notifications are a horrible idea, and they're a horrible idea in every OS in which they're implemented.

Especially so in MacOS X where there's already dedicated space where notificiations could choose to appear, rather than popping up. I think Growl should see if it can incorporate itself into the top-bar instead.

Growl is integrated into OS X's notification center (which provides popup notifications).

I would actually like to have the old Growl back (Notification Center is completely disabled on most of my machines because I find it horribly annoying, whenever I open it it's full of months old notifications because it does not have a proper "read item"-mechanism. In addition to that once you unload it you will never see the OS X Update notification (Oh how I hate it) ever again.)
