>> You will be 10x (barely an exaggeration) more productive if you learn to use the keyboard shortcuts. > No, you won't. If the majority of your time isn't spent thinking rather than typing or clicking, you're doing it wrong. Interacting with a GUI introduces latency to my interactions. If I think of something I can do with the keyboard, I can do it without disturbing my flow; if I have to e.g. start hunting through menus it is more likely to disturb my thought process and leave me at "what was I doing again?" I'm sure not everybody is this way, but I certainly am. [edit] A good, discoverable interface (mouse or otherwise) is important for casual users, new users, and infrequently used actions. At least some people (myself included) get a significant performance boost from being able to do things immediately from the keyboard though.
