I do find Mac OSX slightly inconsistent at times - to install desktop apps, drag to Applications; to install lower-level stuff, double-click the .mpkg file. Where is the uninstall for the .mpkgs?
The most annoying thing I find about other people's Macs is the case-insensitive filesystem.
include "lib/myfile.inc.php";
will work fine on the mac, but by the time it's deployed on the production Linux servers it breaks horribly because the file is _actually_ called MyFile.inc.php.
I just wish they were case-sensitive by default.
As a Linux sysadmin in charge of said production servers, I'd much rather have a yum repository with RPMs (or Apt repo with .DEBs) in it that I can deploy with none of the fuss, rather than language/platform/framework specific installers.
I can't say I entirely agree with the way he's phrased it, but I do understand where his frustrations come from.
I use a mac laptop (13" Air) - they make very nice hardware. I don't always find the desktop environment to be the easy-to-use, fulfilling experience that other people have reported.
