You know what, you are a user too. The platform should perform well for everybody, not just the majority. This is what makes me feel Unity and Gnome Shell aren't the best way to go, not just simplifying, but totally removing configurability. There is a central ground, where an interface can be learn-able by a normal user, and not inhibit power users.

The thing with OSX appstore sandbox isn't that it hurts power users, it hurts the majority. It limits what developers can make applications do, preventing many types of applications that users would expect to be possible. Sandboxing itself isn't bad, it is just this implementation that is bad.
