Joint priority, IK Handle priority really tick me off in Maya. I have a toggle MEL script bound to a hotkey for that kind of thing.
I am used to the gesture based rmb left, right, up etc... now, but have still bound U,I and O as Face, Edge and Point select. Q gets bound to the Object Select Command I believe, as the default sometimes has had issues for me with clearing the previous selection mode completely. The rebinding doesn't replace any crucial Maya hotkeys I've ever used. I also find I tend to use Ctrl 1 a lot to isolate things when preforming complex multi selections, or use the show menu. Ahh Maya... Breathe in.... Hold, Breathe Out.
