I'm used to organizing things a certain way, and I think I could get over that if the Mac wants to do it differently, but at the moment I can't get past learning the new way because it's so hard to figure out where everything is.
I know this one :D.
When Apple switched from OS 9 to OS X, I went through the drive and moved things into the particular folders they'd always been in.
My husband - who's done programming on Unix - was appalled. He asked me what I was doing, and I said: It's my machine. I don't see why I have to have everything sitting in the "usr" directory.
"But ... you're putting it in the root directory..."
"Yes? So?"
It wasn't until I started porting a firewire drive (bootable) with my user directory included that I switched paradigms. But - I did it because it was practical at that point, and that shifted my preferences.
I love my macbook(s). All of them except the 5300c, about which we don't speak. But in part I liked them because they were mine. I could do whatever I want with them.
