This is because graphic designers very often are humans of the more creative, non-technical kind. Before Windows became so much like Mac OS, the latter was by far the easiest to use for people who didn't care to meddle around with system files, CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT and all that stuff. You just drag files and folders around, and everything works. (Most of the time, that is.) And the GUI just sits there in the background and does its work, no more, no less. It's gray and boring, but solid and effective.

When OS X (ten) comes along later this year, things will start getting *really* serious. I almost can't wait for protected memory. Imagine a Mac (or any computer at all) that *never* crashes or hangs! Individual programs may, but not the OS itself.
