Different shortcuts are a HUGE issue for me when switching between different products. It made my exodus from Eclipse and Photoshop so much harder and made me come back to both products for a few month. The frustration because of the lost productivity was just too huge.

But maybe there are shortcut profiles for Blender to match 3DS Max?

There are, but I found they don't help much.

I had the same attitude coming in from Softimage but eventually had to bite the bullet because I was screwing up a lot of Blender's workflows just because I remapped a few keys to match SI. But once I'd internalized the default ones (which took a dozen hours), I never looked back.

EDIT: YMMV and it could be different for Max - I haven't used it in a long time, so I can't compare.
