Maybe it's difference in configuration, whatever. The fact is, some areas, like
web browsing, are very lacking. The mail client is nice, best I've ever used.
Adium is also great, as is the twitter client that I can never spell. Voiceover
has been a thorn in my side, crashing frequently when doing things that, before
10.6.6, never happened. Hopefully Lion will fix the frequent crashes and
improve Voiceover's interaction with Safari, especially. There are still some
things that I must use windows for, most notably being playing MUDS, which is
fine, because I know that's not a very popular thing. Also, other than Solona,
which I have had very bad experiences with as compared to Web Visum, there is
no accessible solution for solving captious on the Mac as far as I know. Vuscan
is great, and I suppose if I took the time to learn an entire new interface, I
could do my audio editing on the Mac too. For now, I'm still an avid Gold Wave
user.
I've also used pages with great success. I'll still keep my Mac and continue to
update as each new version of an OS is released, hoping that things improve.
All this having been said, I think that some of the "problems" on this list are
not "problems," but rather people not knowing how to do something or knowing
how to do it half-way, and that is what we're here for, to educate and help
each other. The built-in accessibility, of course, is still the driving force
behind Mac for me. Oh, and we can't forget the system-wide spell checking
capability rather than having to depend on a particular plug-in or program as
you must do in Windows. And the way Voiceover handles mouse support is just
spectacular!
