Hmmm, depends on the app of course. things like movable and configurable toolbars and shortcuts in each app, and flexible notification systems, full network transparancy etc I consider basics. So for applications, I'd say I like good tabbed browsing in my browser. Not retarded like IE 7 or Firefox, but GOOD. So drag'n'drop between windows and such. A nice, usable filedialog (I currently consider the KDE one the best I know, though the KDE 4 one might be better. But I don't know Amiga's one).

What else... Well, the desktop stuff: good medianotifications, configurable panels, multiple desktops, good and configurable window management... Lots of stuff, you see ;-)

"I'd say I like good tabbed browsing in my browser."

Amiga IBrowse was one of the first web-browsers which had tabbed browsing ;) IBrowse had tabs something like 10 years ago ;)

"multiple desktops"

The wery first released AmigaOS version had screens. already in the 1985 ;)

It's lovely it had it first, but that doesn't mean it does it best - firefox had tabbed browsing before Konqueror, but konqi does it better. EG scrollwheel scrolls through tabs, you can dragn'ndrop tabs between windows or detach them, I want 'undo close tab', etcetera.

Of course, I want tabbed filebrowsing as well. And splitscreen functionality as well.

Same goes for the multiple desktops - I just use 4 of them, so the ability to have 100 I don't care about. But I do care about being able to drag windows from one desktop to another, both using the window itself and via the widget which shows the desktops. And of course with a 'send to desktop' right mouse menu.

Stuff like that ;-)
