The aritcle is just vaguely describing user experience from a "first time user" point of view, which is clearly wrong, like someone is going to throw away his idevice after his first use.

I've been a regular user of windows and linux and while back, until I switched to a Mac a while back. It took some time tinkering and reading to get used to it, but once I got the hang it has become really productive - some gestures like three finger drag, switch panes, two finger tap to double click are some time savers.
