Agreed. They changed the way expose worked, which was a major feature that I used all the time. In ML, they gave you the option to use the previous behavior. So, at least to me, 10.7 was like Vista or Windows 8, and 10.8 was like W7/Windows 8.1.
Got a tip for us?

Expose is still there and you can still see all your windows? They just merely enhanced it so I don't get your complaint. :s Organising by app is an improvement if you ask me.
Basically, in SL, expose arranged all windows such that you could see the entire window of each. Lion made it so that it groups each window together per application. This made it difficult to see what each one was. So, if you had 10 PDFs open, it was completely unhelpful. Everyone complained. ML gave the option to group separately again, and 10.9 continued that trend.
It's always been possible to spread them out by scrolling. No idea why people would have 10 PDFs open at once anyway but to each their own. I actually believe they improved expose. Imagine that many windows all spread out? Eventually they'd get tiny and you STILL wouldn't see.
I often have a lot of PDFs and documents open due to my career, so it is useful. Anyway, that slowed down the workflow considerably, as you had to make an additional gesture every time you wanted to switch windows. In addition, it only let you see about 1/3 of the PDF page, so it was hard to tell which one to use.
Another thing that use to be great is that you could click and hold on a dock icon and it would do an app expose for just that app. That was really efficient, but they got rid of that after a while. Not as big of a deal as the expose change though.
Using a trackpad you can do a four-finger swipe over the dock icon. I think there's an equivalent gesture for the Magic Mouse...
I dislike the **** comment and accept that my english is not the best as i am not uk/usa. But that is not a reason to ****.
What i'm saying is that alerts are increasingly intrusive. Example; I do not need software update everyday. Once a month is sufficient. Result, I just postpone without reading. This means security once are also postponed. So; "no" I do not want a printer update ASAP, that can wait for a monthly check. Ok for urgent things such as security update. Apple classifies updates, so why not use this information ?
Similarly, telling me I have removed a USB badly.... its sort of late. So I'd like the option to disable this alert (and others) if that is a risk I wish to take.
In the end, my MAC is starting to nag at me like my mother used to when I was small. And we all lived this; what "mother" though was important was not for me, etc. etc.
If I can block notifications per APP (on iPhone), I would like to do that for OSX alerts.
And focus on what I'm doing on my mac, rather than if I want to install the latest itunes update...

Not a troll... and no thanks for the intellectual classification you suggest for me. It is rude..

Agreed on the APP level, but I would like this at OSX level.
