Well, computer users aren't the problem its all the UX "experts" that have never read a HID document for any major platform (especially desktop ones).
I don't care if grandma once a week has to reach for the mouse to fill in an select box. What I care about are the applications/sites that break any number of imput devices (particularly keyboard, but frequently desktop touch, or pen based) because they think they know better and decide to invent some new paradigm without understanding the existing ones. This is part of my gripe with much of the last 10 years of windows, which broke a lot functional paradigms without replacing them with an alternative. Or they 1/2 broke something.
Take the right click on the task bar to open an applications system menu which worked from windows 95->vista. That operation now gives one the nearly useless option to pin the application. Now when a window is offscreen and I need to move it onscreen, and the app developer broke the alt-space keyboard combination you have to know that MS changed (and didn't really document it anywhere) the behavior too the very mac like, shift click. Pretty much the only place in windows that the mouse buttons have keyboard modifiers. Its like the guy who wrote it couldn't figure out how to add a "pin to taskbar" option to the system menu.
