I'd much rather make OS X more like Ubuntu.

I like my macbook, but a lot of software just doesn't run on it. I'd also like it if xmonad worked for all windows, not just X windows.

Can't you run Gnome/KDE on OS X?

Probably, but how does that help? Those are desktop environments, what I want is a tiling window manager.

I'd have thought you could install the window manager along with everything else.

He wants OS X native apps to be managed with a tiling window manager. Not possible, although this would be a large usability improvement for many users. (It's ugly though, so my bet is that this will never happen. Get a Linux box and start thinking for yourself.)
