John Gruber says: Recommended reading, even if you wind up disagreeing with more than 1.5 of his criticisms. And so I shall: Matthew Thomas' list of faults found while "enduring" Mac OS X. As if the title alone didn't get you, the list surely will. Some are right, some are wrong. Let's have a look.

I don't dislike it, but it's my least favorite. […]
