"Ease of use" is subjective. Can you (or others) share some examples of
features or common steps/tasks that represent ease of use on a Macintosh?
(And maybe the differences between it and doing it under X11 with a
bloated window manager?)

I know the new Mac OS looks pretty -- but what type of features makes it
easier to use? (Not counting the ability to use standard Unix tools.)

I am curious, because I've been using Macs off-and-on since 1985(?)
including a couple years in journalism school. I haven't really noticed
anything that makes it (Mac OS) easier for me. In fact, the GUI-itself
seems little more difficult than Windows 98.

Of course, Quark Express on the Macintosh is awesome!
