If there’s one thing the last two versions of OS X, Lion and Mountain Lion, have shown us, it’s that the iOS-ification of a desktop operating system comes with a few bumps along the road.

We’re in a weird place right now where the Mac is in the middle of two file paradigms. iCloud promises that we’ll never need to think about where a file is again, but the regular old file system is still right there for us to use. Moreover, iCloud doesn’t yet map perfectly to what we’re used to on the Mac; since files are tied to applications when using iCloud, there’s no easy way to work on one file with multiple applications.

Growing pains.
