This irritates me, not just in macs but in general:
k Im sure once youve spent 20mins hovering your mouse over stuff it gets second nature but its hardly good design is it? Its not just mac - Office 2007 did it and its really bad design imo. Our helpdesk have to say stuff like click on the thing that looks like 3 lines instead of click on tools then *whatever paragraph option*. This wouldnt be a problem except most users are f**king stupid. The average user can read and click their left mouse button. Thats about it. Abstract concepts are too much for them.
Blackberry do it too:
Ok, click on the blackberry button
The what button?
