Now now, it’s not fair to say things like ‘MS stole all their ideas from Apple’ without saying ‘both of them stole all their ideas from Xerox PARC’…but mostly the good ones. But anyhow, that’s old hat and both companies have been iterating on their own platforms for ages since those days and each operating system has mutated into its own particular beast.

I object to the author of this laying all of the blame on MS. Apple software design is the worst offender when it comes to coddling users into a state of being unable to troubleshoot issues themselves, IMO. Want to discover anything more than the extremely limited options available in the GUI? Well too bad, you don’t know the secret keystroke. What’s that, there’s literally no documentation for this CLI utility? An error occurred! Here’s an incomprehensible report that looks like a dog’s breakfast, good luck. Despite its BSD roots, MacOS is heinously bad in terms of user education, and it is seen as the “easiest OS to use”.
