Seems like that's similar to how Vim can feel so smooth to use, with experienced users not even thinking about what keys to press but just what operation to do, as the inputs can be combined in intuitive ways and the entire program has very low latency to do anything. Very different from "ugh, now I again need to move my hand to the mouse to select that bit of text".
