    Are you asking that question in the assumption that fewer Mac users are "advanced" than Windows users? That is probably not true. If I were using OSX, I would use it.

    It's mostly common sense with some Posix permissions stuff thrown in. It'd be easier for most people to right click on files/directories and change the permissions through "Get Info" than to use chmod.
