- Modern programming language (sorry Objective C)
- “Maximize” button that fills the whole screen
- UI/Sound/Cursor Themes
- Efficient and full-featured remote desktop protocol
- One-click switching between documents/dialogs of a single open application
- Full-Screen mode in Safari/Firefox
- “Run” command – QuickSilver
- Tree view access to applications/filesystem (like the Start Menu)

- Shell extensions
- Dropdown menu for each path level (as in Vista)
- Customizable per-folder view (XP +)
