New Re: I disagree.

Granted, he's leaning a bit toward the Mac with his comments about menu bars, but from a usability standpoint he's right. It's demonstrably better to have one menu bar at the edge of the screen than to have one menubar per window, located underneath the window decoration.

mpt is a bit full of himself, but he knows his stuff.

New A bit? :-) A lot...
I was less than a quarter of the way through when I realized he was extremely Mac-centric. His initial criticisms are going to be ignored because of this - IOW, people are going to respond "well stay on a Mac, then". This is a shame, because a lot of the later stuff is actually real problems that should be fixed.

Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please
