Ever since the Mighty Mouse came out, it seemed that Apple had said "Okay, we 
give in!" to the one-button-mouse thing. Now all the mice they sell are 
"Multi-button" mice.

Right-Click context menus do exists, and are not as rare as you would think on 
a Mac. Apple doesn't use them alot, but everybody else does.

As somebody else pointed out, there are a lot of shortcut keys on a Mac. 
They're just different.
