Typing has never been the road block.
It's the inability to blend typing with other kinds of media I generate - easy references to diagrams, notes, reference papers, etc - that is my limiting factor, that is stopping my work for moving closer to my ideal of what a professional solution in software should look like.
I want some web-esque way to blend the several kinds of artifacts I make as a programmer in an easy to generate manner from a system that understands I'll be generating all these kinds of things, and that they're all fundamentally different expressions of the same idea.
That way I can blend drawing and doodling doing what they're they're good at with text entry with what it's good at, and create the deeper and more meaningful references that underscore the idea (or composition of ideas) I'm attempting, and not have several stand-alone pieces that don't express their relationships and interdependencies correctly.
Telling me how to play the violin faster doesn't help me conduct a symphony of ideas, and shows that the people proffering answers don't even understand what my problem actually is. (Hint: I'm rarely the one playing any particular instrument; rather, I'm trying to explain how I'll bring all the instruments to bear together on a single piece.)
