IMO, macOS has the most sensible keyboard shortcuts [0]. Moving the primary modifier from Control to Command might seem odd at first, at least that was the case for me when I first tried out macOS. But in the long run, I think it's more comfortable.
Common User Access [1] tried to fix the chaotic mess that was DOS... But by then it was too late, so we ended up with a few really stupid shortcuts. My least favorite is Alt+F4 / Ctrl+F4. On macOS you close documents or windows with Cmd+W, or you close the whole application with Cmd+Q. Having to reach up to the F-row is awkward.
