I use both PC's and Mac's so I believe I have a balanced view. As far as I
am concerned, right-clicking is an extra. Anything in a contextual menu must be
also available under the normal menus. The contextual right-click simply
throws up immediate access to a choice selection. No big deal. You can happily
ignore right-clicking and live without them (like ignoring keyboard
shortcuts), but life is much easier with them IF they are well designed.
My father started on his first computer (a Mac) aged 78 . After 2 years he
still didn't use keyboard shortcuts. Then he got a PC. After only a couple of
hours he decided he liked right-click contextual menus because [1] they are
visual and [2] show him what's important at that point. He still doesn't use
keyboard shortcuts on either machine!
