I also miss this feature, but I agree that the way Windows does it did not make sense: the single-click-wait mechanism is inconsistent.
I prefer OSX method of click-and-hold, this also has some analogy with touch-and-hold, and feels more natural.

The F2 shourtcut works fine (to rename a file/folder you need to touch
the keyboard anyway), but a shortcut mechanism on the touchpad/mouse
seems more convenient and easy to remember.
