"a computer system should maximally reward learning. (The way Emacs does.) And that this should certainly be true of a computer one uses for 8-14 hours a day, for decades." I think this is a good take, modern interface design focuses on instant gratification/short term thinking and ease of use more so than on giving people good levers, or mind bikes. I think the truly brilliant tools enable use and creativity beyond their initial purpose. Sure, that stuff only becomes relevant when you're pushing the envelope and most people won't be trying to do that; but I believe focusing on that edge has long term benefits that are hard to quantify. I'm not sure about any of the keyboard stuff, but that particular idea I resonate with.
