For those of you who have not followed the comment thread on the 'On Favouritism, Apologies, and Black Helicopters' story: I there promised to write an article about all the customisations I do on KDE to make it look and (more importantly) behave in my own preferred way; as a sort of Christmas present, so to speak (it is not like it is a fast news day today). Read on!

The desktop is pretty usable in OS X. OS X relies heavily on drag and drop, to the extent of being able to drag images right out of Safari to your desktop; you can even highlight text and drag it and it'll create a text document. Safari also defaults to save files to your desktop. In my opinion, this makes sense as you will most likely be wanting/needed instant access to these files once they're done downloading or once you've successfully copied them.
On the other hand, ost applications automatically default to the specified "media type" folder. If you're working in iMovie or iDVD/Applications like that, the default save location will be the Movies folder. If you're in iPhoto, the folder will be the Pictures folder. Microsoft Word, Documents. Most applications, besides instances like Safari where it makes sense, won't just dump files onto the desktop.
