Just wondering how many of us here are not into obsessing over cosmetics?

Your certain this suitableness there does wake by interest, is which it to the grammar?

(note: that started out as "How many of you care about proper grammar?" before I babelfished it. )

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

And of course, everyone cares what it looks like, don't even pretend you don't. You may not care about little things, like consistency between all the different styles (aqua, graphite, metallic, etc.) but leopard supposedly addresses this (haven't gotten it on my own computer yet). But don't pretend you'd be happy using a fisher-price looking OS like windows XP or something. Looks do count. You can always tell whether app designers followed Apple's guidelines, because some apps look "apple-like" and some well...don't. And that is a huge difference.

I was expecting that I'd be able to edit my poll options after posting them, I usually write my posts and then proofread them after posting them... My mistake, I apologize for this!

I voted for the second option. I'm not expecting many votes for the first option.

I'm picky, but I usually trust Apple regarding what looks good. Granted, 10.X.0 versions usually have a number of unresolved issues, but in the end, I'm happy by 10.x.2 regarding all of the change.

There have been a number of changes that I've thought "ARE YOU SERIOUS" only to fall in love with them later. I've been on OS X since DP2 (if you can call that OS X).
