As a Mac addict, I can't really disagree with your statements ... however, as a non-power-user, the lack of keyboard shortcuts is not a problem for me, and thus, for lots of users.
I will agree wholeheartedly, though, with your assessment of the Apple Store (brick-and-mortar version). Also, it's usually far too crowded to be useful, and guess what? They don't bother selling software! Which meant that when I wanted to get Civ V, I had to download the multiple gigabytes over my home modem - literally DAYS of downloading!! At least the thing was able to deal with dropped service without starting over again.
Still, hope you enjoy the Mac, even though I know it won't convert you.
