Yep. Everything on a Mac should be as easy as "turn it on, tell it what to do, walk away ... (have it wash your car)".

Your statement could apply to computers or teenagers. One could argue the theory that both should require no effort to set in motion. Reality is a closed door in front of a loudly blaring stereo system.

Yet, by your own testament, even these "simple" apps still do not work for you. See then my comment above.

What strikes me odd here are the undertones of a zealous rant against working with the best tool(s) that suit(s) your needs right now. One could believe from all this that perfection to your metrics was all that ever was available in the past and is all that should ever be available in the future. Such a standard would for me be a difficult one to live by.
