The only Unix that has escaped this fate is OSX, because a mega corporation with a lot of foresight, talent, and (most importantly) money, did their magic. Linux will never reach out to the common user unless it receives similar treatment.
You should try doing more than using Safari. Some of us even replace the command line on OSX to be something more friendly (Plan9port). The number of times I've dropped to the shell to find the contents of a resource fork for colleagues using "find" is > 0.
