Heh. Yes and yes and in general I like to see the guts and be free to easily fiddle with them. The Mac way is the software equivalent of how you can't open their hardware easily, which I also loathe. To me a love of Apple is one of the surest signs that a person is not a real hacker/programmer but is just in this industry for the $. "I just want to get shit done" ...no you just want to make money. There are exceptions but they are rare.
