It was hard to learn how to use in the first place for reasons that I don't quite understand, but it's elegant and perfectly Mac-like as far as I'm concerned. Where it deviates from `what's normal' adds up to `improved efficiency and user-friendliness', which seems very very Mac like to me - and partly why I call it `elegant'. So maybe it does look out of place on MacOS X. Oh well - it's not like MacOS X is as Mac-like as it should be.
