om mani padme hum. the premise is that mice are better than
keyboards. the evidence is time-motion studies. therefore, if an
interface requires keyboard accelerators, then the mouse interface is
flawed.
well almost. but anyway, it's useful to aggressively push this
viewpoint, because mice really are poorly utilized when people layer
them onto a traditional keyboard interface. even when the interface
is built from scratch, people often ignore usability issues in favor
of the eye-candy school of design.
(well almost. eye-candy is often useful.)
