To be fair back in the early days of Mac vs Windows 3.X, "It just works" had a lot more relevance.
For the average user, it did just work more than Windows. Though I crashed Macs as much as I did Windows boxes back then.
I appreciate what Apple was trying to do despite their approach. Finding anything in the UI beyond the basics was painful (intuitive my ass).
But after NT4 (and especially Win2k), that difference was gone.
