I often get the feeling people who want platform-specific features in
Photoshop aren't Photoshop users... so pray tell, what do Photoshop users
need, specific to the OSX platform, that we don't already have?

Like it or not, Photoshop is a cross-platform product; even just a few
years ago asking for platform-specific functionality would largely have
meant focusing *more* on Windows, not OSX.

But again, frankly without a huge rewrite, completely changing the UI in
some undefined way, I'm at a loss for what people think is wrong with
Photoshop as the x-platform champ that it is.

The current state of Photoshop on OSX is *not* that it's a cheap copy of
the Windows version; if anything, the Windows version is the second-class
citizen IMHO.
