> Choices that you have to make

What do we want?

Freedom from choice!

When do we want it?

You tell us!

Kidding aside, this is one of the keys to Apple's success: we have made most of the choices for you, and we have very good taste. (and yes, they've been slipping).

In essence, that's also the key value proposition of many luxury (clothing) brands. Not so much that the quality is necessarily so much better, or that you're getting better value for money, you're not (in pure product/price terms). A big part of the value proposition of, say, the Armani brand, particularly for men is: "buy from us and it will be good without you having to think about it".

I agree that the defaults for macos are decent.

However, the customizability of linux goes far far beyond macos.

scripting is possible with macos (say shell scripts, perl and python), but nothing graphical/ui.

(ignoring tk, also ignoring orphaned applescript)

Even something simple like yad would be nice on macos.
