The replies to this thread highlight how there are two different camps of computer user.

One camp, full of very able computer users, responds immediately with techniques and suggestions for how to do something, because (1) that's what they'd want to hear, and (2) they're generous with their advice.

The second camp says "Why shouldn't the UI do what my intuition clearly craves? I'm not interested in learning alternate ways to bend my mind just to do something that Apple could have provided with minimal effort."

I’ve seen this happen on HN quite often.

Guy 1: I wish I could do X

Guy 2: You can do it with a little trouble by doing Y

Guy 3: Why should we have to do Y?

Sometimes Guy 3 is also Guy 1. It’s an interesting phenomenon, for sure.
