Someone should write a book on "How to Develop Software for the Macintosh if you're a Windows Programmer". Not just the API differences, but the tools.
I'm always amazed at how different the Macintosh is. So many of the things that always work the same way in Windows always work the same way in the Macintosh, but the way that they always work is just different. For example, the "End" key in Windows takes you to the end of the current line. On the Macintosh, it takes you to the end of the document.
Now in my opinion, I'm going to want to go to the end of the line much more often than I'm going to want to go to the end of the Document, but I'm sure Mac users would find the difference just as annoying if they were moving to Windows.
