let’s start with something that’s way overdue for an update…. TERMINAL!
backspace fixing in remote terminals (via on option called “delete sends Ctrl-H” , transparent backgrounds, color profiles, nice tabbed terminals, and just an overall better experience from all of these combined.
I’ve been thinking hard about switching back to linux, and the updated terminal and “spaces” are definitely changing my mind.
If you couldn’t tell from above - I’m currently experimenting with the leopard developer preview and since I installed it 3 days ago, haven’t booted into tiger a single time. The Sound system is a little buggy (sometimes have to restart programs that use sound), some programs crash every now and then when you’re playing with new features (transparency in terminal, and photobooth effects in ichat), but spaces really is changing the way I work - even more significantly than virtual desktops did in linux because of expose - and the speed of switching desktops.
if you have a mac and are a developer, you should try it today. it’s pretty sweet.
