Now you've done it, Ben. "Everything Just Works" is great marketing
hype. The only product that I've used that this phrase might
describe is BSD/OS. Mac OS X is approaching the mark but hasn't
reached it yet.
It may have reached the "Everything Just Works" status for the
average home and "Windows" users; however, after scanning the
archives this afternoon, it's clear from the comments that this
status hasn't been achieved for the "Unix" user.
Personally, I wouldn't mind paying an additional $50.00 for a
"Professional" edition of Mac OS X that included real documentation
about the underlying Mach Kernel and Core BSD environment.
You'd probably be better off spending your $50 on this:

I know that's not really your point, but still...
