Ah! What is "intuitive"? What is intuitive to you, in this instance, is
probably more habit. As I have said, the OSX battery indicator is one thing
that I instantly *love* (assuming, of course, that its time estimates are
accurate! ;-), especially, time until fully charged. But as I said, I think
it is a question of habit more than anything else. I OS 9 have my
Application menu on the bottom, opposite to my control strip, so I am used
to looking there for various bits of info.
