Mac OS X Lion vs iOS

[godzilla1200]

Believe it or not, today was the first time I touched an iPad. So I was messing around a bit with it and I realized something: That iOS is much much more polished than OS X Lion, even Snow Leopard. Everything looked amazing; everything is animated, everything is consistent with the OS. Looks really polished to the last millimeter. Obviously it has its limitations since it's a portable device and whatnot, but it make me wonder why Mac OS X is not like that. I don't mean exactly like that, but I wish everything in OS X was animated, like OS X, because everything I touched today had an animation of some sort. Mail app, iWork, iCal, Contacts, Safari (even Gmail within Safari) looked much much better.

I actually loved that Gmail when accessed from Safari, it switched to a Mail-like view.

If Apple wants to make Mac OS X (or next Mac OS) every bit as iOS, i completely approve. Well, I mean to look like iOS and work like OS, not having butchered apps though.

I don't.

I practically lost my a eyesight some weeks ago. There's some hope but I am not going to hold my breath. Now working with just one eye I really, really don't need superfluous animations that distract me from working and actually strain my eyes more than necessary. I work fast, and my eyes are pretty good at "tracking" moving text.

While I can handle it on a small screen inside my hand (iPad, iPod), it aggravates me on a 17" MBP or 27" iMac in front of me.

If you like having the UI animated that's all fine and well with me, and I can see people enjoying it, even finding it useful. But as with all things Apple, they don't really give you many choices to customize the UI.

Lion has a lot more animations going on than Snow Leopard, so your getting your wish slowly I love the new animation effects too. It adds just that bit more to the beauty of Mac OS X.

I don't.

I wouldn't doubt if theres an app for that.

Edit: There is an app for that
