People are very change-resistant when it comes to OS and text editor choice and don’t understand how the other side lives without $feature_of_choice.
I'm just amazed that you are calling an interface you need to set up yourself / configure / tweak a bunch of things to get working is "simple" in your eyes compared to Mac OS X, which is simple to lots of people (which would explain why they sell so many MacBooks, in my eyes?)
I'm just a different crowd! I live in UNIX and for me editing a few text files is much simpler than having a bloated OS.
And why I said the thing about Apple originally is that it seems to be almost a meme that every single thread about Linux or *BSD gets a discussion about Apple products. It's so weird :)
