Last week's column was basically a rant about things that bothered me about Ubuntu's GNOME/Linux combination. Besides the usual 'I do not experience the problems you have, so you must be an anti-GNOME troll!' and of the course the ever-present 'How on earth can you complain about Free software!', it did what is was supposed to do: bring problems under developer's direct attention (for instance, Evolution's UI maintainer emailed me, asking for more clarification). Now it's Apple's turn. Here is a list of problems I find the most annoying about Apple's Mac/MacOS.

This is pretty much the same with every operating system. Ever looked under /etc or Application Data? They are usually strewn with files from every application ever installed.
Application data is like that, /etc isn't. You've probably meant home filled with .folders and .files:)
But even this is just in one place and easier to clean up. Apple does install apps into up to 7 different folders. Not even one is deleted when you throw app in trash.
@Thom:
1-9 all real, except you could name better ones than HDD light
btw. "it did what is was supposed to do: bring problems under developer's direct attention" best sentence ever, and do more of these trolling conquests, I for one agree that praising what works is pointless.
