The MacBook Pro introduction in October caused unusually negative reactions among professional users due to the realization that Apple no longer caters equally to casual and professional customers as it had in the past [YouTube video]. Instead, the company appears to be following an iOS-focused, margin-driven strategy that essentially relegates professionals to a fringe group.
This has well-known developers such as Salvatore Sanfilippo (of the Redis project) consider a move back to Linux. Perhaps that's a good moment to look at the current state of Mac hardware support in the kernel. While Macs are x86 systems, they possess various custom chips and undocumented quirks that the community needs to painstakingly reverse-engineer.

Clone the GOOD (pre Yosemite) Mac UI, since Apple, Inc. no longer gives a fuck about you.
And while you're at it, fix it so you can run more than one fucking instance of a GUI program at a time.

Just use Windows 7 like the rest of the dinosaur morons who can't deal with any kind of change.

Yosemite was a vast improvement in the UI. Just today I had to touch some ancient (10.7) Macs, they now look and feel as bad as WinXP - tacky glitter without function.
