> it has such inconsistent use that you have almost no hope of actually getting what you want out of it
I disagree wholeheartedly. It does everything I want and I get out of OS X exactly what I want - namely, it gets out of the way. It's uncluttered and I don't have anything distracting me. All I see on my desktop is my currently running application and the dock (with icons set to tiny). I don't want system profiling tools flashing and dancing away. I know if my system isn't performing at its peak - it runs slowly.
You say it's inconsistent - I couldn't disagree more with this. It's absolutely consistent. I have never been caught out with unexpected behaviour because it just doesn't happen. There is so little to the UI that it couldn't possibly be inconsistent.
