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!
