- technomancy 16y agoThe problem is research costs money, and people with money are more likely to be interested in average users. Nobody's going to do research on obsessive HN-reader-type users who are willing to go out of their way to memorize lots of Emacs commands in order to ensure their exocortex is fully optimized.
- javert 16y agoThat's not an answer to my question. Let me state my point more bluntly. I've tried switching applications with mouse and with keyboard, and it's faster with the keyboard.
