I've been wondering about you since your sudden recent appearance in these forums, and your passion for instantly rebutting every comment that's critical of Lion's functionality. Why do you do it? I'd like to know.
Because the only answer you are intelligent enough of giving is "I moved back to Snow Leopard, because I have a list of all the problems.That will fix everybody's problems." This is most unhelpful and very annoying when reading through threads trying to solve people's issues with 'Lion' which this thread is about.
Let's be fair about this. If Auto Save/Versions is a deal-breaker for a given user, then reverting to Snow Leopard will solve that user's issues. Furthermore, as we've seen, it is the ONLY solution available for solving those issues. I don't believe Tom has stated that reverting to Snow Leopard is the solution for every issue with Lion — only this one.
You make people feel that Lion is unusable, whereas most people who volunteer their time are helpful and many issues have been resolved, including mine
However, the issue that is the subject of this thread has NOT been resolved. It stands to reason that there will be continued discussion of this issue until such time as it is. Meanwhile, I find it hard to believe that someone would reach the conclusion that "Lion is unusable" based solely on one person's posts.
…if you read my posts, about three or four up for example, I am agreeing with the poster. Lion is not perfect but is improving every update.
Yes, I noted that you agree that the user should be given a choice as to whether or not to use Auto Save/Versioning, and I'm happy to see this.
With one simple stroke, Apple could render all 46 pages of this discussion — not to mention similar discussions in other threads and in many other forums across the web — moot.
It's absolutely the right thing to do, and in all of this discussion in all of these venues, not a single soul has given a credible reason why it is not. In fact, they haven't come close. Time and again, the Apple apologists who smugly deride the rest of us for being "behind the times" (without having a clue as to the nature of our workflows) suddenly scurry away and hide beneath their rocks whenever this simple point is made.
