I feel comfotable with one button. Long ago I used an Amiga with a two button mouse. The first thin I wanted to buy when I switched to a Mac was a two button mouse. Somehow I missed to buy it, and now I do not need more mouse buttons.
What I wanted to stress is that many people complain about things without having their own experience. I observed PC users not recognising how to deal with different windows and applications on a Mac. The same situation the other way around with Mac users dealing with M$ Windows. The Mac UI is a little different than M$ Windows UI. As a consequence one does not really need three mouse buttons. This does not imply thta some people feel happier with a multiple button mouse using their Mac.
I heard a lot of complains about that one button is not enough for a mouse. All those complains were by PC users who have never ever used a Mac.
I know some Mac users who bought a two button mouse. I also know a lot PC users (> 50 years old) who do not really know when to press the left, and when to press the right button. My mother uses an iMac and she never missed a second or third mouse button. And I do not want to teach her when she would have to use which of those buttons.

If you want to use a three button mouse, go on.
