Just wanted to say, "yes." I experience all these issues as well on OSX. All of my other development tools tend to work better on OSX, but Flex... nope. I used it for a long time under Parallels, but switching back and forth between Windows-style keyboard shortcuts and OSX-style keyboard shortcuts was driving me crazy. So, I *like* having a native OSX app... I just don't understand why it has to be crappier than the Windows version? And, to add insult to injury, I found that FB3 was *worse* on OSX than FB2 was... very frustrating! Troy.
