My own experience is otherwise...i got my first Amiga (500) in 1996 b/c i just wanted to play games. One day i decided to boot the WB 1.3 disc and never read the manual. As a computer novice it wasn't obvious that to get a menu bar to appear i had to push (AND hold) the RMB.. The devs, sys, etc drawers meant nothing to me. Software failures and corrupted disks were very common but I just put it down to a "virus" whatever that was.
However using System 7 on a Mac was far easier for me, it felt simpler and more intuitive. I would argue that for someone who just wants to get the job done, than a Mac is a more intuitive option.
But once you learn more about AmigaOS you do see that MacOS is more limiting. It certianly wont easily let you see what it does to system files. But then most people use their computer as a means to an end ie its a tool so who cares, apart from computer hobbyists?
