So i've been using Lion for a couple weeks now. For the most part, the upgrade really hasn't changed anything for me.

I don't use the full screen mode. I have a 24" iMac w/ a 21" LCD attached to it. I like having multiple things visible on myscreen at once. I like having my browser in one screen with twitter right next to it. And on the other screen my various chat services, email, itunes, etc. If you have a smaller screen, the full screen mode makes sense.

I also don't really care for the launch pad. It works well for iphone and ipad, but i think it is counter-intuitive for a notebook or desktop computer.

I don't want to see iOS completely replace OS X. The added gestures are nice to have. Mission control is pretty cool. But I don't want anything more than that from iOS on the notebook/desktop

How are you finding the scrolling?

At first i turned it off to go back to the old way. Then I thought I'd give it a try and turned "natural" scrolling back on. It makes sense to me. I'm liking it. Though sometimes I go back to old ways out of habit and scroll the wrong way. It doesn't help that at work I'm stuck on a PC and outdated scrolling directions (LOL).

I just updated - I'm getting used to it but it is taking a while!
