Wade,
Read what you have written and you'll see that all your critisisms of OS X are all small and superficial.
Solution for the bin, create an alias of the real bin and stick it on the desktop.
Not sure, not bothered, but you can probably solve the rest of your gripes by searching versiontracker.com for some 3rd party bits...

Dock shmock - I want my Launcher back! I had all my applications neatly divided up - by category - into pages on the Launcher. Now I have to hunt through ALL my applications for the one I want on the Dock - which either takes up valuable screen space ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE or is hidden where I can't see it. And with it hidden, it's always popping up in the way every time I move the cursor near the bottom of the screen (having it at the sides is unacceptable for me).
I want my Application Switcher back. It sat neatly out of the way (but conveniently positioned) in the right corner of the menu bar. Now I have to search through all the applications in the Dock and figure out which of those little icons is the window I want.
I want WindowShade back. When I wanted to see the desktop I could just double click the title, find what I wanted, then double click the title again. Now I have to search through the Dock. WASTE OF TIME AND EFFORT! (Ok, I just checked out Expose - but I still prefer WindowShade.)
I want my stable STATIONARY Trash Can back. Used to be I could just throw things AT the trash and hit it 99.9% of the time. Now I have to pull up the dock and twiddle the mouse while the trash can dances around until I get what I'm trying to throw away EXACTLY on top of the trash. Otherwise I have to waste time removing things from the dock I meant to throw away, then go through the whole process again.
Where are the sound schemes? I had sounds schemes on OS9! There's hardly any audible feedback when I do stuff. I miss that! And (other than the error alert sound) I can't change what little audible feedback there is to suit my personal taste. When I'm in a bad mood I can't switch to the Carl Stalling sound scheme and hear silly cartoon feedback to cheer me up.
