Let's not forget that Apple's HIG brought us 'column view' in the Finder, where icons actually slide away from your mouse, when you click on them... Or Preview where, if you select 100 PDFs and double click on them, will now open them as 100 separate documents, rather than as 'pages' within a single document, as used to be the case... or Quicktime [and Preview?] where you sometimes move a document with a conventional open/save dialogue but sometimes have to do it through a popup, accessed by clicking the name in the window titlebar.
Yes, OSX is a hundred times more consistent than any Linux distro --which often feel like the UI was designed by several separate teams who never met or compared notes-- but it's not without its own piss-poor design decisions.
