Simple efficient picasa alternative11/19/2023 Point being not all "ports" should be discounted just because they are. Office 2008 is totally inferior to Office 2007. It took me no time to get used to the ribbon and I sure wish that MS would have incorporated the look and feel of Office 2007 in Office 2008. and MS changed it and tried to make it more "Mac like" -and failed miserably IMHO. As far as it being not Mac like, well just look at the debacle that is Office 2008 and its beginnings where the beta testers had the same complaint that the ribbon sucked, etc. And there is no denying the speed of this app on my iMac. I use Picasa at work on Windows to organize tens of thousands of photos for enforcement cases and it is quick, integrates beautifully with Outlook and is efficient. I wouldn't call Picasa a sourceforge project (Ouch!). I guess it speaks volumes to Apple's design ethos. Makes Picasa look like some sort of sourceforge project. I mean let's face it 3 years ago Picasa was arguably better looking than iPhoto. Yeah but they can still comment on whether they like it or not. It's their decision, but I have a right to my reaction to it. Google just didn't care about that I guess. Probably too much ink has been spent on this minor topic already, but there is no way is it not a valid criticism of the app that it has no "native" look and feel. It also makes a lot of sense from a design point of view. To use the natural look and feel of the OS. The point is though there is a long tradition of making apps "look right" on the OS that they are made for. I mean sure, it's not *that* ugly and if iPhoto wasn't around as an alternative, I would probably use it. Nothing that Google can do? Couldn't they, you know. This has to be the dumbest statement ever. There isn't anything Google can do for those people. There's certainly no shortage of people who will say this looks different that a typical OS X and judge it solely on that rather than the actual merits of software.
