Ever since I started using computers I have hated them. They take too much of our time whenever they break, and they break too often.
In private I use almost only Macintosh. That is not because I love Mac OS, but it is because Mac OS is the operating system I loathe the least.
Mac OS is not perfect. It is not even good. It just happens to be the least horrible of the operating systems mankind has seen until now.
My favourite system would be entirely character based, like a DOS window or a Unix shell, but supporting unicode characters and Chinese and Japanese character input.
Or it would be something that one day will come, but is not yet there. Not that I am very optimistic about the future. There were things with Mac OS 6 in 1991 that were better than Mac OS 10.5 in 2007. Features come and go. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.
