KDE is nowhere near as good a GUI as OSX's. Neither is Gnome or Windows. All the non-Mac GUI's are basically the same, because we all know that KDE and Gnome are just clones of Windows. The Dock in OSX is one of the greatest GUI elements. It combines quick launch, the taskbar, open applicatrions, and open windows into one simple place. You might say that OSX is not tasked-based, but it is, and done very well. Tasks and applications are the same in OS X. If you don't want to see an app, just close the windows, but the task still runs. If you want to totally quit it, either selecty quit or right click on it's dock icon. And for applications that try to quit anyway, you can simply hide them, restoring with one click. Plus the dock gives you a quick view of all running programs and their status (like new e-mail, or im's).
