I'm not sure if this is a joke??? Context menus are difficult?? How do you open in a new tab in Safari if context-menus are so alien? How do you force an app to stay in the dock or open at Login? How do you change the desktop background?

Dealing with a dialog: it's just another window, just smaller than the main one.... OSX != iOS. (Actually, how do people cope on iPads when it says "5% of battery remaining"? Do they lob it at the floor in fear of the dialog window?)

There's little developers can do if people don't read the text. That's not a developer's fault. Should we put fences up on dangerous beaches to stop people swimming or should people just read the sign saying "no swimming, dangerous currents"....?
