I mentioned in a post earlier about my frustrations w/ the mac keyboard. I finally got around to being frustrated enough to google and (pretty simply) solve the issues I had. Basically, as a programmer the craaaazy way home and end work on mac is unacceptable. The Windows & UNIX way is better (home and end of the line, not the document). Here are the relevant, helpful posts:

Old posts, but very, very helpful. There really should just be a system-wide option, something like “home and end keys operate on line, not document”. Indeed, the primary reason I’m making such a banal post is I hope Apple’s marketing research finds this and maybe does something about making the growing UNIX nerd & programmer user base a lot happier..
