Why don't more *nix dev's...

While I now laff at the situation, the first time I installed software on an
OS X Mac, I spent a good ten minutes staring at the crazy "A" and the arrow.
I clicked left and clicked right (yeah - hackintosh) and did everything my
little ol' gray cells could come up with. Finally I asked my best friend,
Google. She said, It's drag an' drop silly!

Was I making it too complicated? Was my previous "training" making it hard?
Occasionally I'd rather be in command myself so I can take it one step at a
time.
