Your elitist side should be using an OS that isn't all eye candy and "user friendliness".

What makes you think they'll be able to do that?

Ah, flap back for Round 2 against OS X.  

There's some great things besides eye candy and user friendliness in OS X.  The underlying system, for one, is a interesting combination of BSD, Mach, and NeXT, taking good ideas from all.  Most dramatic the the way it deals with application packages (taken from NeXTStep) - there's one folder called /Applications, which contains one "bundle" file for each app.  The bundle contains everything need to run in a single file.  So, to install/uninstall, only one file is dealt with - and all apps total up to a few dozen files.  Totally wonderful to work with.

I'd go on but I have studying to do...I'll leave this to Laukev or someone.  ;)

Yeah, then I could be a Linux elitist instead!

Well that's what I'm suggesting, yes.
