Ditto, pretty much. Though I think it's not so much "fashion," with all of it's pure aesthetic implications, as I think it is an emphasis on visual polish, visceral satisfaction, vertical integration, and novelty - all at the expense of many things "power user" oriented. It's a path to expansion, buy-in, and pundit-fodder, and apparently a tremendous market cap. I've known for about 5 years that I have some variety of Linux in my future, it's just a matter of time. Though I will likely always have need for Adobe products professionally.

And as regards the Finder, well... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTFF

My perspective: Apple IIe -> Mac -> IIcx -> PowerMac -> XP - OS X.

Careful, there is a big undercurrent in the Linux ecosystem towards creating a OSX carbon copy...
