!!This is the old double-edged sword of user versus programmer usability.

Bull.  Lots and lots of very talented folks enjoy programming AND using
the Mac.  If all "programmers *despised* [programming]" the Mac, there
wouldn't be a whole hell of a lot for other people to "[love] to *use*".

This has absolutely nothing to do with internals (and hasn't for about 2
