I run an "Apple related" site, but I don't think that had anything to do with my decision to use WP. WP is (for the most part) just a really well made system. The main factor in my decision to use it was how flexible it is and that it uses modular code. That's just a really smart idea for something like a blog manager or CMS, and WP does it best in the free & open source world, IMHO. But I guess the real question here is... are more Mac sites using WP than any other blog? It's really hard to tell, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were so. I'm seeing more and more WP blogs every day, as well as more and more Apple users. It's inevitable that there ends up being some cross breeding of the two :) Well… I run an “Apple related” site, but I don’t think that had anything to do with my decision to use WP.

The Mac is famed for ease of use - the mythic ability of "It Just Works". What I believe they are saying is that Wordpress upholds this ideal best out of all the blog software. “Most Mac-like” is not about the visual aspect of WordPress.

For most computer users today, especially mac user, how slick the interface is really plays a large role. If an application looks horrible, I don't want to use it. I dissagree.

The looks do not count for the code behind it and that is what it is all about... That WP can take on some very very hot facades is just the ++ of this wonderful tool!
