Funny, I've resisted switching to Apple products for the same "Just Have To" philosophy in the other direction.
"You want to maximize a window from the window manager chrome? No problem, you Just Have To install (some app). What do you mean you don't want to pay $10 to be able to maximize a window, it's only $10, don't you think programmers should get paid?"
By comparison, Windows 7 "just works" for my needs, which is essentially providing a shell around Chrome and PuTTY.
