It seems strange to me that you would associate design with the details.

Perhaps details of the aesthetics, but not the details of what's actually happening (i.e. the technical details).

Having said that, I set up an Apple Time Capsule today expecting it to be painful. The hardest thing was remembering my router password to turn the wireless off. I think that's probably a better reason why they get such press - that the user experience is more important than the features.

I figure anyone actively discussing tools has a certain bent for nerdery.

In fact there's a relevant Steve Jobs quote: "... That's not what we think design is. It's not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."
