I'm looking for some tips on software, methods etc. that would allow me to quickly do renders like the one shown here (note: I'm a mac user).
I'm aware of the following software packages,
Blender
Solidworks
3DS Max
and I've given them a shot, but honestly the learning curve is really steep. I'm looking for simple cel shading renders and lighting so that I can illustrate ideas with informative, minimalistic figures.
Do you have any suggestions for software, methods, or anything else that might help me get to quickly making cel shaded, minimalistic figures?

My 2 free options.
For this simple (and not so simple) renders Blender would be my top choice. I would use internal render in this case.
Another option can be sketchup. It is sometime that I don't use it since it is not from google, but give it a try: www.sketchup.com/
It has no render engine, but you can try one from several. I used Kerkythea www.kerkythea.net/cms/index.php/downloads
Regarding the method, it comes to my mind:
1) Use infinite lights.
2) Use a simple render engine/method.
3) Use a very large focal leight. Blender can give you a non perspective view (isometric if you want).
The obvius part is that you make simple shapes.
