You are obviously very picky particular about the tools you use for typing. Hey, I've been there. I use Dvorak, and a bunch of custom Emacs functions, and habitually buy every new pointing device that comes out on the off chance that it'll be the one that doesn't hurt my hand.

I've used Macs morning, noon, and night for eight years. Trust me, it's possible to get work done on them, even if work involves typing a lot of text. No OS anywhere is exactly what you want out of the box, but OSX is a lot easier to tweak to make it what you want than Windows XP or Vista or 7. So a half-hour in the Appletorium with a straight-out-of-the-box iMac won't be as representative as an afternoon with something you can tweak the hell out of.

Also, you do know that fn+left is beginning of line, right? It's not like you can't do it...

Yeah. That sounds about right.
