Dear Throwaway.

I am your potential user. A professional, on a desktop, with a mouse and keyboard.

I absolutely hate your slow, click-driven products. I have things to do, and I need the software to help me do them as fast as possible. I run a lot of software simultaneously, so your heavyweight resource hogs are actively preventing me from doing other things I need to get done. If I find a competitor that actually cares about providing value in exchange for money, be certain that I'll switch to them in a heartbeat.

It isn't slow, nor click-driven.

On the contrary, because I know my users are on a desktop, most actions can be done with keyboard shortcuts.

This means you haven't tried it. Which means you're talking about something you don't know.
