>I don't understand the love for voluntary infantilism.
Because people seek leisure and ease and going against that means the competitor who recognizes this is going to beat you. Also on a more pedantic front, did you write your own operating system or create your own cpu? What does "learning the system" mean here? Its arbitrary. Even a hard code dev today would seem like a child to the guys in the 60s who had to do literally everything by hand.
>I don't think anybody here would argue that using a keyboard is too difficult.
Ever watch someone learn a keyboard for the first time? Its painful. The common layouts are questionable and lots of keys are extraneous. I dont need a sysrq or break key, thanks. Look at mobile. When I use a mobile device I either use voice or a swipe keyboard. When I'm at home I use my Google Home and Amazon Fire via voice instead of a hunt and peck virtual keyboard. Keyboards are actually fairly terrible, but right now for a lot of tasks are the least of the worst.
