This is why much Exposé has been lobotomized in Lion. How would you react if, whenever you were wondering where something was on your desktop, I’d show up, pull every single thing off it and show it to you in a manner completely different from how you organized it?

Mission Control is next to impossible to use. You can no longer Exposé 5 Finder windows because Mission Control groups them all too closely together to click. Is adding time-consuming clicks to my workflow something beneficial that Apple has mapped over from a real desktop? I'm sure lots of people like Mission Control but it's removed a lot of the useful functionality from Exposé. Hmmm... reminds me of Final Cut Pro X...

I'm curious to see how Launchpad fits into the skeuomorphic desktop metaphor. I think Launchpad is a pretty blatant example of Apple dumbing down OS X by adding needless iOS crap. If there were a hack to disable Launchpad, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
