i love osx in concept, but in reality, it is just pure horrible pain, both figuratively and literally (these keyboards! my god!). super-annoying: pressing delete does not delete a file. in fact, there are two keys labeled delete, and NEITHER of them deletes the file. this is just about the most obvious thing i can think of.
also, shortcut keys in text editing windows and boxes are woefully inconsistent. sometimes home and end work, sometimes they don't. sometimes i'm pleased to find that emacs-style keys work, but sometimes they don't. i'd be willing to let that slide except that the claim to fame here is supposed to be consistency and ease of use thereof.
I believe this has to do with the UI library used. I think the Emacs keys work with Cocoa, but not with Carbon.
