There's gotta be a less user-hostile way of doing it.
I agree, it's by no means the best solution. However, it's much better
than either of the other options:
a) having the app go all buggy because I put up more than one sheet at
once.
b) using alert panels instead. I dislike some things about sheets, but
I really appreciate how they are tied to their specific window and
don't litter the screen.
In my case the sheet messages are being triggered by
NSDistributedNotification. I'm still thinking about the best way to
bundle those up to present to the user in a more friendly way.
Do most users hate sheets as much as you?
As CPUs get faster, will sheets get less annoying and faster to unfurl,
or are they sprite-like and always take ~ 1/x seconds to unfurl? I was
just now watching a sheet unfurl, objectively, and it's pretty dang
fast on my older G4 without QuartzExtreme.
