<p><a href="http://steve-yegge.blogspot.co.uk/2008/04/settling-osx-focus-follows-mouse-debate.html">This</a>
is why I will die if I am ever forced to use an Apple Macintosh
regularly. Also:</p>
<blockquote><p>The first takeaway is that Apple OS engineers don’t want you to do
stuff that they don’t want you to do, and they specifically define
“stuff they don’t want you to do” as “stuff they don’t think you want
to do.” This is actually endemic to Apple forums in general. Whenever
someone says “I want focus follows mouse behavior!”, some people
inevitably reply that “you really don’t want to do this”. It’s that
whole “we designed it the right way for everyone” mentality that turns
off so many would-be Mac users.</p></blockquote>
<p>The thought, otherwise, is</p>
<blockquote><p>So I’ll keep using my Macs. They’re all just plumbing for Emacs,
anyway. And now my plumbing has nicer fonts.</p></blockquote>
