   Sure. And it does highlight how flexible the UI is.

   I am talking the features of the system as a whole. Some time back I made a   
   list of some I use.   
      
   * A Media Browser   
   * A systemwide color selector (with add-ons)   
   * A systemwide font manager (with definable sets)   
   * PDF Services   
   * Quick Look (and its integration with many programs)   
   * Proxy icons   
   * Full-screen programs integrating with virtual desktops   
   * Consistent common dialog names, placements, and hotkeys   
   * Consistent save and open dialogs   
   * Consistent print dialogs   
   * Application services   
   * Renaming, moving, duplicating from within programs   
   * Saved status indicators   
   * Visual versioning system (easy copying/pasting from earlier versions)   
   * Visual backup system (novice-friendly “dig back” history)   
   * Spotlight   
   * Tags   
   * AirDrop   
      
   Some I use less now than I did in the past (like the font manager) but some I   
   use more (such as Spotlight, which has grown... both in functionality and   
   bugs!)

   It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with   
   you.
