Working in osx leads to desktop clutter. Partially, I think, because many more app defaults are set to drop things there instead of the root of your home directory. A messy home dir is the problem my linux box has, and I'm less likely to do anything about it, since it's not constantly visible. Kind of the messy closet, or stuff stashed under the bed. So I guess it's time to try to be more disciplined about file organization, 'cause the desktop chaos kind of freaks me out.
