Easy: I must prefer anything that lets me work while remembering about three or four different keys. So anything that replaces a complex shortcut with "hit an easily remembered key ten times" will win hands down.
Because the alternative to whacking the key ten times isn't doing some elegant chord, it's going through a six level context menu or googling for how to do it. Yes I have programmed for 20 years and mostly in the same editors and I still don't know anything beyond the smallest handful of shortcuts for any of them.
