There are some apps that have sets of keyboard shortcuts and let you  
switch between them with a preference. This is very handy, because  
now a Mac user of application X can chose whether s/he wants Mac- 
oriented shortcuts (so find will be command-F, for example) and  
another user of X on the Mac who happens to be familiar with the  
Windows version of X can chose Windows-X-compatible shortcuts (so  
find would be F3, probably).

I don't like customizable keyboard shortcuts in general (this is what  
makes it impossible to type anything in someone else's Emacs, for  
example), but in this one case I think it's definitely worth it.
