  Windows have been very easy for me to use wrt keyboard. (I had other issues with it.) On Mac I had three big problems and one small: - ctrl and fn was swapped on the laptoo and I configured a lot of non Mac machines as part of my job so I could never relearn that part permanently. Also their own full size keyboard had ctrl in the usual spot - cmd-tab made me think way to often. I might be a bit impatient yes, but there is something good about being able to go back to any window with just one keyboard combo instead of alt-tabbing to the correct group then alt-| to the correct window. - the "jumping a word at a time" shortcut was inconsistent between apps. IIRC some used alt-arrow, some fn-arrow, some cmd-arrow, some ctrl-arrow. Also the lack of home and end keys broke my workflow. (I think some of these are fixed now and I also hear rumors that fn and ctrl can be swapped with some tool now) - inside applications I'd struggle to access settings etc without reaching for the touchpad.
