Since Apple was hell-bent on having some UI things related to mouse movement render on the screen in 100% perfection, they had to make tradeoffs, resulting in what is essentially minor mouse lag (I don't remember how much, but I think it was in the ballpark of 16-20ms compared to Windows 7). When gaming and particularly when playing competitive FPS and RTS games, MacOS X is basically unusable. When browsing the web or working on text processing or whatever, I couldn't care less. People use computers for different things. I have also found Steermouse to be useful, though I just use it for the extra button recognition. I mean, who on earth (besides the dozen or so small developers that make software to more thoroughly configure the mouse) could it possibly be hurting to provide this out-of-the-box. Not allowing user configuration of this is one of those little things that Apple does that I have never understood. Having mouse acceleration is like moving the furniture around in a blind person's house: I can get around, but I have to think about it and it is really annoying. I have never used acceleration and have a lifetime of mouse moving muscle memory that automatically guides the mouse where I want it. I prefer keeping my system stock too (hence the question I started this thread with), but. I dunno, I try to leave my OS installation as stock as possible so that I don't freak out when I use someone's computer other than my own. I wouldn't go so far as to call them weird, but I just don't get how people can be sensitive to things like this because I just can't tell the difference.
People who complain about it are even weirder. People who notice things like mouse acceleration are just weird.
