QuickNav is a mode you can turn on when using a keyboard with an Apple device. It allows you to simulate VoiceOver commands with the arrow keys without also having to hold down the VO key combination.
I assume this is what's being discussed here, but I wouldn't think it would be a show stopper when contemplating moving to a Mac. I find it just a convenience but not a necessity when using a bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone. I'd also assume the Mac has more robust keyboard support than the iDevices.

I'm glad I did it because I can walk up to any Mac anywhere and use it, and I may own a Mac again in future, but I never quite got used to the multifinger Voiceover commands, even when I unplugged my Windows machine and went Mac-only for two months.

The reason I finally gave up the Mac was that I found myself having to go back to Windows for work stuff because the Mac didn't have comparable work related software that was accessible or because Safari wasn't supported by this or that work site or because I was having trouble accessing some of the advanced features of Pages, etc.
