This is the very rock upon which all of the  "Linux will take over the  
Desktop" stuff founders. Linux itself is a product made by, for and  
aimed at people who love working 'on' their computers.

Yes there are easy-to-use distributions, but none of them have the  
staggering level of integration and polish that OS X does. Drag and  
drop, for example. In OS X you can drag and drop nearly ANYTHING from  
anywhere: a file, a clipping, a volume...and if it won't work you get  
visible notification that it won't work, and it does work in A LOT  
more places than people imagine.

And it's built-in. Any Mac application can take advantage of this  
feature.
