It's not just that though (and that's not just OS X; Gnome is just as merrily dumbing down its interface and visible options); worse from Apple is abandoning not just power users but its traditional pro markets too. The New Apple is about nothing but pretty shiny appliances for the hard of thinking; not just hiding options, but removing them altogether.
