Hardware, too. I worked in broadcast television in the 1990s and we used these very large Sony three-quarter inch videotape decks for editing. Two of them paired together and a monitor.

Once I learned how to edit using the buttons and the scroll wheels, I could fly through putting together a news segment with all kinds of cuts, fades and overdubs. I remember thinking, I couldn’t believe how fast my fingers were flying.

The closest thing I can compare it to is learning how to play a guitar; after a certain point muscle memory takes over.
