The Washington Post reflects on Lion's first week of availability

Bought it, installed it on an external disk, it screwed things up mightily, went back to Snow Leopard.

Unfortunately, the fact that I blew $30 on it counts as a vote in favour, because Apple apparently isn't counting who is actually *using* it.

My only complaint is I can't upgrade my work Mac book pro and I have two different sets of gestures to use. I'd love to see gestures common across devices when possible. Overall and as someone who recently came from the PC world, I like this OS.

I always use ctrl+scroll to zoom. Now it stopped working.
Only the frame zoom is possible, and even the hotkey setting in advanced options is bugged.

To make me happy Lion should provide:

1. the same features of expose+spaces - show all windows of all applications of all spaces
2. the option to turn off autosave/versions and get "save as" back
3. the option of permanently disable the "restore-every-window-after-boot"
4. the option to disable the application save state

Are you kidding, guys? Lion is the best, more intuitive, easy to use, and the Spaces in Snow Leopard left something to be desired. 4-finger swipe to change spaces? Brilliant!

People, as always, are just scared of change.

My only problem is using another monitor. I work at conferences and stuff - and I just can't mirror displays! The whole "new space" for full-screen apps is extremely annoying when using an external monitor!

I just find it hard to believe that a major update to OS X is still just $30. What's a major update to Windows cost?

Well it killed me 8800GTS graphics card.. but other than that it's been a smooth transition.

I love it, it's more intuitive than ever, switching between frequent apps is a breeze, but I'm a power user and I can't imagine that everyone will love the changes - they certainly help me work faster, that's for sure.

so far I love osx lion
didn't like the natural scrolling at first and and as one person already mentioned turned it off, but since turned it back on an forced myself to use it. took about 2 days and now...well it's natural :)
the biggest complaint was the connection to my NAS, but i found the terminal commands to set in order to make it work, so i'm fine now.
love mission control, i'm up to 6 desktops now for various functions and it's easier than ever to navigate to them.
overall i think lion is solid, and there will always be tweaks to make things better, but this is technology and it's constantly evolving. it's the world we live in.

anxiously waiting iOS 5 and new iphone/ipad :)
skp

Need to restore the old clamshell behavior. It's very annoying that you can't open up your laptop while attached to an external screen (for better cooling) without being forced into dual-screen operations, which, lets face it, OS X is still ridiculously limited in.

Apart from that, I'm lovin' it.
