In Emacs specifically.. A large part of the emphasis of "keep your hands on the keyboard" is aimed at beginners. Well, at least in the case of Vim bindings. Learning such keybindings has a steep cost; while learning them, it's always going to be more practical to just use a mouse. But, once you learn them, then it's often quicker. For keyboard-driven programs, I'd say a (well-configured) Emacs is the gold standard. OP makes the suggestion that using the "strokes" package functionality will have some advantages over keyboard binding. -- If it works for the user, sure. But, I'd worry about stroke recognition.. and it doesn't seem to me that memorizing a mouse stroke is going to be easier than memorising some key sequence. In Emacs, if there's some command I want to run, I'll invoke the "execute-command" with "SPC-:", find the command, then look at the keybinding next to that so I can rehearse using the keybinding.
