There are no goofy animations and slow transitions, it is working like a silk
actually. I am starting to thing that all you guys that are complaining about
this thing have either broken computers, are not talking about GM or have a bunch
of extensions that are not supported by lion which make os not working properly.
Second, i saw many complains about the new workflow introduced by lion, and those
complains comes from people that call themselves power users. First of all something
that is new in lion and it is great is possibility of peeping in to the spaces that are next
to the displayed space. Which is great if you for example you are currently working in
a Cinema 4D but you have a sketch made in lets say illustrator and you
just need a quick lets say composition check. Also another example is if you are
working on a lets say book in the InDesign and you want to make a quick check
of the text so you can apply correct typographic styles in its place, but keeping
text in InDesign active.
A lot of people wrote that spaces in lion are bad because they are linear. The truth
is, that except for the peeping ability which, again is great feature, spaces in lion
are only displayed in a different way from the spaces in SL, but the fact is that they
are working the same. What i am trying to say is that if you have 12 spaces active in
a grid (SL) you can either use your keyboard (numbers - the fastest way), arrows or
gestures to change between the spaces. That means (lets say set up of the grid is 3+3+3+3)
that if you want to get from space 1 to space 8 by gestures, the fastest
way is to go (1) RIGHT, (2) RIGHT, (3) DOWN - assuming of course that you did not
get lost in your own grid. So you need at least 3 steps to get to desired space, which
means, if you are not gonna use the numbers on a keyboard that you will probably expose
all spaces and choose the space you are looking for, that is 2 steps.
Lion, first of all can rearrange spaces automatically by its usage so if at the moment you
are using space 1 and 8 most of the time they will come close, which i found great as well,
and second if you want to get from space 1 to space 8 using gestures, you are not gonna
swipe like a mad man, it is most likely that you will go to the mission control (1) and chose
desired space (2), and that is exactly the same number of steps as in SL.
Not to mention lunchpad, versions, disk encryptions, recovery HD partition
and so on...
I think that you guys should just try to change your workflow, like i did, and you will
see that GUI decisions made in lion make a lot of sense. That goes for reverse
gestures as well, it took me few days until i completely adapted.
Actually i like lion so much, that now even my backup with repairing tools is lion.
It is just much better than SL and is super cheap.
Just my modest opinion, no offense to anyone.
