Apple's Human Interface Issues

applenova: "There used to be a time when the user interface came first at Apple. The Mac OS was the model of what a GUI should be. Many years and millions of dollars were spent designing the interface to be as simple, non-obtrusive, and consistent as possible. Unfortunately all that time and money went to waste when OSX came out. Apple threw out many of the rules that had made the Mac so simple to use ... design and consistency is no longer a concern."

This article raises valid points, mostly about default buttons and erasing data, but I've been arguing that Mac OS X is not consistent (or easy to use) for years.
