Relax! We have every desire to provide a consistent user experience across
all of our products. That being said, we also need to get timely releases of
our products out the door. Rome wasn't created in a day and neither will we
get every application that's written by Apple completely consistent upon
their first releases either. We are working on it so constructive feedback
on areas where we missed something are always welcome.

all Apple people I know, and adding a few comments:
Sending feedback/spam to as many people as you know at Apple is certainly
one way of approaching this but I doubt it will be effective. Logging a bug
in Radar (
http://bugreporter.apple.com) is the most effective way of
bringing problems to our attention. Logged bugs are guaranteed to be
reviewed by the appropriate parties and can be escalated where necessary.
That being said, general feedback on Mac OS X should be directed to the Mac
OS X feedback page at
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ and not
submitted as a bug. Submissions from the Mac OS X feedback page are reviewed
by many groups within Apple.

While I truly appreciate your obviously intense interest in making it
"right", I do object to the crass manner in which you've chosen to
communicate your passion.
This is a public, Apple hosted, discussion list. Please refrain from the
insults. Simply stating the facts and identifying your concerns and/or
recommended solutions is sufficient.
