Does anyone use Spectacle? How does this compare?

I do. Spectacle is much simpler. Having recently switched from Vim to Emacs, Slate's configurability scares me.

"With great power comes great responsibility". I run a very simple slate configuration that is essentially spectacle with some minor mods. It's very short and while I will admit it took me a couple of tries to get perfect it does exactly what I want.

I agree. Although this is just beta and it's possible that they will announce upgrade paths when 1.0 is ready.

Their FAQ explains there is a mildly cheaper upgrade path for people who already purchased v1.0:

> The final release will sell for $69.99, with an upgrade available to registered users of Kaleidoscope 1 for $49.99

So, save $20. Not terrible. My gripe right now is that to save the most money, I have to pay for software that is incomplete and I have no promises about what will happen if it never makes it out of beta. Granted it seems likely they'll finish it, but not knowing their plans for failure bothers me.

Skeuomorphism has little value in 2012, even more less going forward.

Although its just the background in this case but it does get in the way of text and other UI elements.

Beats me as to whether why people continue doing this stuff, most notably Apple and many Mac-specific apps. Annoys me no end!

If you move one position to the right, you'll see a clearer image of the gun

MFin CSS3.

#3 is a given. HTML5 is great for cash-strapped companies that want to achieve the cheapest way to have their product function across multiple platforms.

A company w/serious coffers like Facebook, native apps PLUS HTML5 are their calling.

Elon Musk is awesome.

And added some ASL videos and resource links for the deaf community. This is to encourage more of our people to become more involved in our country's direction. Just doing duty as a deaf American!
