Even though I'm a big Apple fanboy, I have to admit I avoid using Apple's desktop applications. The one exception is Mail.app, but even there I'm always eagerly looking for any possible alternative. iPhoto, Addressbook, iCal, none of those have ever appealed to me, and I've always use (mostly web-based) alternatives. And enough has already been said over the years over that piece of bloatware called iTunes.
So as far as I'm concerned, this isn't something new. IMO, with some rare exceptions, Apple has never been very good at application software.
