There certainly are many pros of various kinds who prefer the trackpad; in fact, I would say that in any given group (however we define "pros" and "amaterus" when it comes to laptops:), most people will prefer trackpad. But I am to this day convinced it's simply the learning curve - until the day I see a video or a person using trackpad that doesn't make me cringe in the same way that a two-finger key-hunter does. I can understand that this seems patronizing, I struggle to put it in a way that doesn't seem personal, but for years I have witnessed colleagues who claim to be excellent with trackpad, they love it, it's great... and then they take 3-5 times longer to get things done as they go swipe... swipe... swipe oh there I am at the other end of the screen... swipe... swipe... oh there's the button:-/
