No HTTPS? Kinda shocked.

If you're the root user of your machine, you can do anything. You can actually remove all the default apps. Simply navigate to the applications directory using the terminal, sudo rm -rf Safari, type your password when prompted, and poof Safari is gone. Using sudo is powerful, and I suggest using it only once you understand the ins and outs of how computers really work.

Loved everything but the weird slant on the exposed menu.

Always Visible Navs. Even the sleekest navbars across the top or side of the page bug me. I feel like navigation should always remain hidden until needed. Helps to dedicate 100% of the space to the content.

I second this, I've had success using Zurb's Joyride before, although to me it almost always feels like cheating... Like is my UI so bad/complex that it warrants the use of a tour?
