Anybody know why Apple has never added a notification system to OS X? I use and like growl, but it just seems like it should be OEM.
I imagine they would argue that per-app notifications (badge icons, etc) don't require system-level integration, but as I think they've learned from iOS5 apps, there's more you can do, and it's really nice to have this in one central place.
Maybe Lynx, or whatever they call 10.7, will have them.
