Apple "When one takes the seamless integration, stability, ease of use, quality engineering, the TCO, and the ability to boot Windows, one can easily conclude that a Mac is not necessarily a more expensive proposition. The argument that Mac's are too expensive no longer applies. Although you can spend between $600 and several thousand for a Mac, stay within your means and purchase a system that meets your computing demands."

I can also open a file/app in the Finder by pressing Cmd-Down Arrow, what is that consistent with?

If you press Apple+Down Arrow when a folder is selected, you descend into that folder to view its contents. You can think about files in the same way. It's also consistent with the fact that Apple+Up Arrow opens the parent folder to the current path.

As for the rest of your comment, just because it isn't consistent with your "Windows eXPerience" doesn't mean it isn't consistent in the Mac OS realm.

I'm still pissed that they changed "New Folder" to Apple+Shift+N since it was Apple+N for as long as I can remember (System 7), but it does bring more consistency to the "New Window" command.

The truth of the matter is that things change, and if we don't change with them we get left behind. Being flexible is a virtue, not a chore.
