If I /wanted/ Mac, I'd gotten Mac already. Doing it like someone else does is boring.
(You may also try: s{Mac}{Apple products}, s{Mac}{MacOS and its interfaces} and s{Mac}{Mac-ish hardware}.)

I guess they are trying to take elements from existing systems that seems useful to them (as in: user friendly, etc.).
When you want to see what the result is when people start to just blindly copy what Apple is doing, you should have a look at this project:

Maybe it just seems that way from a far.

So don't use it? parted and fdisk and whatever else you want are still there. There's just now a shinier partition editor too.

What if I want a Mac, but with the freedom added back?

Or even better, what if you want the best UI you can get, instead of blindly avoiding everything Mac or Windows or whoever has done just because it's "boring."
Many ideas can use improvements, sure, but there's old adage about wheels and inventions...
