Which makes it a whole lot friendler.
Presented as a device it makes more sense.
Now we have partitions, drives and a filesystem, which is confusing.
Also, you can't do much when going to "the filesystem" in OSX. There are
some user folders
and an Applications folder. But on linux the applications are scattered
around the drive in an unreadable way
so it's not useful to look for your applications there (exposing
/usr/share/applications is a tidier way to do this if we wanted to)
