I haven't been able to find a Mac equivalent of Microsoft Money. I tried iBank but can't remember much about it.
I also favour OpenOffice over iWork, for me the weak link in iWork is Numbers, after years of using Excel I find it overly simplistic at this stage.
In general terms there were three things that bothered me when I switched to Mac three years ago.
- The startup noise. I dislike computer sound effects and this one cannot be disabled without a third party solution.
- Mouse movement sensitivity (acceleration curve). Different (more sensitive) to Windows and I found it hard to adapt to while still using Windows every day at work.
- Files left behind after trashing programs. Dragging a program to the trash doesn't always remove everything from your HDD, once you know when things are (e.g. ~/library/preferences) you can remove them manually. I also use a preference pane tool called AppTrap (there are others).
