It hurts both ways. I'm trying to switch to Linux, but the lack of separation between Ctrl-C for Copy and Ctrl-C for break drives me mad. Similarly Ctrl-A for start of line vs Select All, end of line and search pasteboard (there's no search pasteboard!!!)
It should be a standard that the different OS's support switching between methods. If you like the OSX way, then you should be able to use it. If I don't like it, then I shouldn't have to use it.
At least on Linux you have some more choices, maybe not specifically the finer details of the keyboard stuff, but there are a bunch of things that OSX does that I really dislike. On Linux, I could change them. OSX, so far, most have been either not changeable, or appear to my newbie eyes unchangeable.
