I didn't say Mac.

My entire post was about differentiating "easy to use" v "easy to learn".
The corporate push is for "easy to learn", since they don't want a
training expense for the digital sweatshop.
Apple's marketing pushes "easy to learn" while calling it "easy to use".
"Easy to use" and "easy to learn" may occasionally overlap, but are NOT
the same for those who are capable of learning.

Conflation of the two phrases is detrimental to the well being of our
species.
