The way I see and usually use these kinds of things is not necessarily to get more done, but rather to remove annoyances. I like vim because I don't have to mess around with cursor keys and remember whether the system I'm using expects me to press home, or fn+arrow, or the key in the left corner (ctrl) or the key next to the space bar (command) or the one in between (option – office for mac) to select a word text. It just gets out of my way and lets me enjoy what I'm doing. I prefer a tiling window manager not because it allows me shave some milliseconds off window management, but because having to drag windows around is irritating to me. Bonus point for not having a different behavior if there is one or multiple open windows of the same application running. The same with keyboards, I may type faster on a mechanical keyboard, but that's not why I use it. I use it because it feels better when I type on it. I don't have to make sure I press the keys exactly in the middle or else they may or may not get stuck in the middle and not register (cheap HP keyboard at work). Do I type faster? You bet. But cranking code faster isn't the reason.
