There's no such thing as "user-friendly." User-friendly is a term used to arbitrarily describe how easy something is to operate or use, without any sort of common reference point. Almost any sort of computer, for instance, is difficult to use if you can't read or write and don't speak any of the languages on the computer. A famous quotation with regards to Unix is "Unix is user-friendly. It just isn't promiscuous about which users it's friendly with."
The above answer is a very good answer to the question; I would just add that Unix was developed initially for other technically minded users, and wasn't for non-technical end users at the time. Everything that was done was done for users that were technically proficient in the C language (for example) and that wanted to get things done in an efficient (for them) manner.

First off, Macs are computers, whereas Linux/UNIX are operating systems. They are not the same. Comparing OS X, however, is more productive: OS X itself is a UNIX operating system derived from BSD.
