If typing two extra characters actually does cost you valuable time then you possibly need to reevaluate your work pressure or possibly amount of commits. If you have trouble finding quotes on your keyboard, your blind typing skills just suck. Also, what language are you even coding in? Remembering to not press enter is on the same level as learning to use nano (use vi you peasant!). I guess some of the arguments are valid... in some environments.
