I installed Lion last night and had the same reaction. I wanted to make my disk show up on my desktop so I went to:
- System Preferences -> Desktop (duh!)
- System Preferences -> Appearance (ok...)
- Right click on desktop -> Show view options (surely it's here!)
By the time I finally found it, I had a familiar feeling of low-level frustration that I usually associate with Windows.
The new maximize feature is rather passive-aggressive as well. Instead of something sensible like making option-clicking the '+' maximize the window, they added yet another button which does a needless animation and disables the menu bar and the dock. It almost feels like a fuck-you to people who have been asking for such a feature for years.
Menu bar and dock are still there for your use, drag your mouse to the top of the window or to the bottom. When you click a different app you will be switched to a desktop with that app.
