Heh, thanks... and Snow Leopard isn't even half the issue that Lion is, when it comes to merging the iOS/OS versions. Though in Lion's defense, several of my Lion-using friends said that once they got over the hump of the touch-pad interface and the backwards movement, it became much more intuitive. It's just that our previous interfaces were counter-intuitive, when you think about 'em.
That said, Lion doesn't have Spaces (the mac thing where you have four screens, and can move between them) -- and my brain just works better on Spaces. The top left is for Firefox, and all web-application stuff (jEdit, FTPing, text editor), the top right is for Safari and LJ/DW journaling, the bottom left is for visual design (Photoshop, Illustrator) and the bottom right is for media (iTunes, VLC, SimpleComic). It's like, it focuses me to know that in this Space, I'm doing X, but I can move to a different Space and not have the distraction of the windows in the background... but it doesn't "feel" like they're gone, unlike the Lion interface where it just hides them, and then lines them up all together. I don't want them lining up. I want them staying where I put them.
On the other hand, this would all be solved if I just had a second massive screen the same size as what I've currently got. Oooooooh. Oh, hold on, I think I'm drooling. Sorry.
