The "switch desktops" feature I equated to "the cube-line switch to 
another user's desktop when they login".  I don't change my desktop 
dynamically or randomly because I use 6 different desktops and cycle 
through them with Total Spaces.  The desktop pic tells me which one I'm 
on. It's worth every penny.

You can control the style of animation when you switch to a specific 
desktop using control-[1234] keys.  That's in the System Preferences > 
Mission Control Preferences panel, along with the number of screens you 
pre-define.

Total Spaces also has an animation-style selector.

But the cube switch for switching to another user's desktop can't be 
disabled AFAIK.  So don't have two people logged in at the same time.

I see no such setting.

Yeah, I thought it looked pretty spiffy. I don't tend to use more than 
the one, myself. I _have_ used more than one in the past but it's never 
become a habit with me, except on Linux where I run Kodi on its own 
desktop because it jumbles up the UI. At least it doesn't disable the 
switch; I can switch to the other desktop to have the standard UI.

Get him some Dramamine. Tell him to look away during the switch. Tell
him to man up.

Great solution. Just give up all of the professional productivity
apps‹Adobe, Apple, Microsoft‹that you've been using to 30 years and
switch to running server software and have fun with ASCII art. No
thanks.

Linux and apps are far beyond simplistic.  The real problem is that the 
mainline productivity apps are not available on Linux (MS suite, Adobe 
suites, etc.)  The substitutes are adequate for some but add a layer of 
complexity when working with others who are not Linux fans.

In the end, Linux is a great OS, with some basic (and aging) security 
flaws and a horrible desktop landscape not suitable for mass use.  Why, 
despite a very competitive price, it's share of the desktop market is 
eroding away.

In other areas, it is king and appropriately so.

Exactly what I meant. If I decide to get out of the graphics business
and my wife decides to give up writing and criticism and we decide to
open a server farm, we'll definitely look at some Linux boxes. Until
then, we're very happy with Mac OS.

I sensed that in general - it was your ASCII art statement that I found 
to be somewhat ridiculous.

It's called "hyperbole." Still, can you name a single piece of
professional graphics or music software available for Linux/Unix? There
is video rendering software for use after the movie has come out of
post production on Mac or Windows and needs a large and cheap parallel
array, but that's the extent of it.

In fact, my son is a CS grad and was wall-to-wall Windows (and 
self-built) and had zero interest in Macintoshes. It was only when he 
decided to get into software development that the developer community 
convinced him that Mac was the only way to go. When he got his MBP in 
Sept. he messaged me: Got a Mac. Never thought I'd see the day!

He _does_ really like it as a dev enviro; he's just bumped by unwanted 
motion. I just hope that issue can be overcome and he can stop hankering 
for the view in ChromeOS. :P

We had someone in our office (it's all Mac laptops) who refused to use a 
Mac. So they go him a Windows box.  By the time I got there, it was idle 
and gathering dust, so he overcame whatever objection he had to 
development on the machine.

There's nothing wrong with using a platform that suits *you*.  The fact 
that you can't disable the animations any more means he can't really use 
a Mac.  Sell it on Craigslist and get a laptop that can run Ubuntu or 
Fedora.  And hire someone else to do that artsy fartsy stuff with 
Photoshop that you can't really do on Linux with Gimp.  There's no shame 
in that.

If the tools he needs to do his job make him sick, he needs to find 
tools that don't do that.  Mac isn't the tool. Find one that works.

Screen switching on Gnome/KDE etc may also bother him. But he'll be able 
to dive into the code and turn that off, recompile it for his needs, and 
get an environment that works for him.

Again, isn't it a heck of a lot easier to learn to close your eyes 
before clicking that particular feature?

I was a developer for over thirty years.  Most of that time, multiple 
spaces were available, but I rarely found them useful.

OK, this thread isn't really about you and your programming habits. Just 
because you don't use something or find it useful, why should someone 
else suffer.  You might as well ban same-sex marriage and abortion.

See?  Such arguments get silly after a while.  Let the kid figure out 
how he works best and leave him (and me) alone.  I'm not telling you 
that *you* have to use spaces or emacs or vi or program a project in 
Cobol (if you have, then show some dignity and don't mention it).

I learned from an ex-boss that effective managers let people figure out 
how they work best and let them do it that way (unless it seriously 
impacts productivity or security).

Back off Hobo.

Bitterly complaining about a minor detail of something you can't live 
without, yet angry at people who live without it and angry at 
super-simple ways to avoid the problem.

Hmmm.

No, no, it's a legitimate neurological anomaly, as I discovered while 
researching this issue. My initial reaction was like yours, in that I 
figured it was something that he could get used to in short order. Turns 
out that's not the case for a certain segment of people.

I'd send Apple (perhaps Tim Cook directly) a well-mannered, thoughtful
letter describing your son's condition, his aspirations of doing software
development on Apple kit, the problems the animations cause him, and
requesting help with it.

Wouldn't surprise me if that's already happened, considering that it's 
alleged to be selectable in Sierra.

Will follow up with him about that at 2 holiday dinners, tomorrow and 
Monday. (Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in Canada.)

Yes, it was actually just my Thanksgiving dinner that was on Sunday. My bad.

OK, then scratch my frivolous remarks above and get him off the Mac and
onto Windows.

As I said elsewhere in the thread, he's *ALWAYS* been wall-to-wall 
Windows. He's also an honours CS grad who had to create his own OS to 
get his degree. When he gets a new phone he edits the source code and 
recompiles and reinstalls. He's not an unsophisticated user by any 
means. His main machine is still a Win7 tower attached to his TV. He 
coughed up the big bucks for a new MBP to be his development 
environment. He just has the one issue with the Spaces animation.
