Let me make it clear. I'm not a fan of Apple. I think that their products are overhyped, overpriced and underperforming. If you're looking for a fair unbiased opinion, you're looking in the wrong place. You've been warned. So, I was at Steve Jobs' 2004 WWDC keynote yesterday, attempting to take pictures for OSNews (an amazingly hard task, by the way, which really explained why people pay big bucks for big lenses equipped with image stabilizers). UPDATE: Stop reading right there, I have rewritten & updated the article here.

You only seem to talk about the problems of Mac OS X as relating to you, personally. Unfortunately Apple doesn't write an OS especially for you and your "3rd party accessories", but what they do make is a very good OS with features and a price that appeal to the masses of mac users (and a lot of PC users).
Dashboard is not a simple rip-off of Konfabulator - Dashboard is just a better implementation of a similar idea. Dashboard is for quick access to things you might want quickly - i.e. a calculator for a quick sum. With Konfabulator, every widget is shown on screen at the same time, cluttering up the screen and getting in the way. You could just as easily have calculator open all the time as have a calc. widget in Konfab.
Mac OS X v10.4 seems to have a lot more to offer than Panther did (as an update) so far, and it is not necessary to update if you don't want to.
The spotlight technology would make me pay the $129 alone.
