You are going to find plenty more to annoy you.
Personally as a Mac user since the Fat Mac, I think the user interface is still very rough and inconsistant even after 5 revisions.
On the other hand you are also going to find many gems, only they will be different and hidden in places you would not expect. A different mix, I guess. Coming from Unix you of course will miss the freeware, but believe me shareware is still cheaper and more freeware is available than on Windows where avarice is God.
I know that that this is not exactly what you are looking for as a notebook, but explore the possibilities of TextEdit. I find it enormously powerful and versatile and heck Apple, gave it to you for free.
The more powerful features TextEdit may lack canbe often had by utilising Services (3rd item down under the TextEdit menu). Hunt on VersionTracker and other DL sites for more services to suit your needs. Just don't be fooled by TextEdit's apparent simplicity, it does an enormous part of what most word processors do without most of the hastles.
One drawback is Apple, for some weird reason, does not allow changes to the print margin, but there is a simple hack that fixes that and that can be your first venture into Xcode programming.
