With regards to keyboard navigation it gets really good if you work for it (no harder than you would with an editor like EMACS or Vim).
I use vim extension which works well for editing the files themselves. Accessing pretty much almost anything else can be done using the command palete and you can manually assing keybinds to it as well.
Re:extensions: great when they work well. But they tend to move fast, and come and go fast. That makes combinations of them brittle. If they're conveniences, that's no problem. But if they're necessary parts of my workflow, then life can suck.
