No. No one is unhappy with the MBA's speed. Most of the users in my MUG use their Macs for business, so the MBA's form factor is a lot more important than the Retina Display in the MBP.
As for RAM, we had a long discussion about that. Unless you are into something that is exceptionally demanding (e.g. you will be editing a lot of video, or you will be doing 3D modeling), you just don't need to pay the extra money for 16GB of RAM. Remember, when you run out of real RAM in a Mac with an SSD, it begins to use part of the SSD for virtual memory. That won't happen often, but when it does the speed of the SSD will likely keep you from even noticing.

I'm not sure if you want to do something else, or Safari 5 is different,
but in Safari 6 under 10.8, I can find autofill entries in Safari >

using the normal methods (click, cmd-click, shift-click) and then click on
Remove. I'm guessing that Safari 5 does not allow that option.

Sorry. I've just reread the OP and I *did* misunderstand.

Yes, I think we've all been there, but of course it's nothing to do with
doc/app-centric: it's simply a matter of the app's menu being at the top of
the screen, not at the top of the window.
