Reverse scrolling? It's an option on the touchpad / mouse settings to scroll naturally/unnaturally isn't it? Going to sleep - it's under power options in Settings. Also writing to NTFS is not a problem they care about. When's the last time you wrote to ext4 or HFS+ on Windows natively without extra tools? It's exactly the same here - they support HFS, HFS+ and FAT32 and VFAT. Windows supports NTFS and FAT32 and VFAT.…
> Reverse scrolling? It's an option on the touchpad / mouse settings to scroll naturally/unnaturally Yes, but do you want to have different setting for your trackpad and mouse at the same time? You need a third party software. It's not as bad as I told the story > Going to sleep - it's under power options in Settings But I don't want to open the settings and change the behavior of the whole system if I right now need…
I think you are expecting the wrong thing from the OS. How do you keep Windows awake for 10 minutes only? Proper NTFS support on Linux is only recent (and I don't think it supports all the excellent features of NTFS).
If an OS vendor adds in support for something that is only partial or offers messages regarding "this isn't really supported", either a) nobody would use it, or b) people would use it and complain. It is safer to release something complete, or not at all. And since "typical" Mac users aren't trying to mount ext4, ReiserFS, XFS or NTFS on their machines I can see why they would not support it.
For comparison, when's the last time you used COM or DCOM on Linux or Mac? When's the last time you ran a Cocoa app on Linux? Does it sicken you that RedHat and SUSE won't pull their finger out and support these technologies? Why doesn't RedHat release a driver for SQL Server ODBC support independent of Microsoft? They must be attempting to force their own Linux-centric monopoly!
You can see how foolish this sounds. It is based on unrealistic expectations.
