I came back with the advent of Tiger where it was first reported that the mouse acceleration problem existed. Somewhere between System 7 and OS X, I stopped using Macs.
Back in the days of System 6 (6.1.3 was when I first got my own Mac-a MacSE), the mouse movement was normal. Now before critics slam me for this post, I should point out that this mouse movement wasn’t always a problem. I might add that as good as USB Overdrive is, the movement still doesn’t feel quite right. I struggled long and hard to adapt to the mouse acceleration curve but after a few months, I simply couldn’t handle it anymore and used USB Overdrive to alter the mouse movement behaviour.
There are, no doubt, proponents of the movement that will say that this is the proper behaviour and that Apple got it right while everyone else screwed up but I disagree. The mouse acceleration and movement is simply too erratic and not very smooth compared to the Windows and Linux motions. Ever since Mac OS X 10.4, Apple did a disservice to the computing community by severely crippling the mouse movement behaviour.
