Mac convert, what's broken in Mac OS X.

Now I've used MBP over a weekend. And I've decided there are a few things that are plain broken - that seriously prevents me from doing something or there's no good workaround - in OS X:

The brokenness #1: there's no support for "focus-follows-mouse" or FFM. Steve Yegge has a comprehensive post and I totally agree with him. Apple must be aware of this issue, since they provide a way to have FFM between Terminal windows (only between Terminal.app, not anything else). However, even ignoring the lack of FFM, I think the window focus system is broken because of the #2:

The brokenness #2: the false "application vs window" dichotomy. When I run a terminal, and launch an app (let's say a graphical diff tool), and then quit the app, the focus does not return to the terminal. Instead, X11 application (with no window at all, hence essentially useless) remains to have the focus, and I have to click the terminal to get back to my terminal. Same is true for any other app - if I launch a Finder window to do something quick in the middle of other app, and then close the Finder window, the focus doesn't return to whatever app that launched the Finder. Instead, the focus remains on the Finder app with no widow left. When is an app useful *immediately* after its last window is closed ? At least in my typical usage, 99% of the time I have the last window of an app closed, I don't need that app for a while. Otherwise, I wouldn't have closed it. If I closed all windows of Terminal.app, that means I don't need the terminal now. Ditto for web browser, and Finder. Or even for applications like Picasa,

if I closed its main window, it usually means I don't want that app for now. Rarely, I'd like to close the window, and open another one of the same app (Photoshop might be about the only exception to this rule). So why the heck Mac OS X keeps the focus on the application with no windows ?

#2 issue is also what makes the command-tab less useful than Expose. Expose treats all windows equally (regardless of which one belongs to which application) whereas command-tab is a list of applications, instead of list of windows - the chance of me wanting to switch to an app that doesn't have any window open through a keyboard shortcut is nearly zero.

The brokenness #3: the modal green + button. The button is actually a toggle button, that switches back and forth between pseudo-maximum mode vs normal mode. It's "pseudo-maximum" because the maximum is what the app decides is the maximum. Combine this with multiple tabs in a window (e.g. web browser), it becomes a trainwreck. It would be much more useful and straightforward if it were simply "maximize the window to fill the screen" or "maximize the window to fill the vertical screen" button. I *know* a lot of Mac users who don't grok this, cause I've seen many people using Mac laptop to do a presentation press the green button and get puzzled (I was equally puzzled every time I watched this, and now I at least understand what's happening but understanding doesn't make it less messy).

I have no doubt I can live with all these warts (after all, I have lived with Windows/Linux/Solaris warts for years), but I'm sure my annoyance won't stop. This isn't to say the other platforms are perfect, but it just shows that Mac isn't panacea and isn't THAT much better, if it's better at all.
