Totally not trying to start a flame war here, but regarding keyboard shortcuts on Mac OS: I actually love the fact that there is the command key, and how it makes sense semantically. Cmd+C to copy works parallel to Ctrl+C in the terminal, which lets me rely on muscle memory for clipboard operations without conflicting with CLI ops! Also, any shortcut involving the Cmd key will be a command that you issue, and anything with Alt will execute an alternative variant or something. I never noticed this until someone pointed me to this, but I’ve appreciated the consistency ever since.
