I didn't mean "trackpoints" or similar devices, but full keyboard
"navigation" of the entire GUI through shortcuts etc.

A "touch-type" GUI is a "must have" for any application that's supposed
to be used productively. The mouse is nice to "explore" a GUI or for
occasional/leisurely use, but once you use an application daily to earn
your living, it's a hopeless roadblock for productivity.

As is the "response time" behaviour of "web applications".

Besides that pathological non-operating system MS (Not Responding),
btw. 

"No cursor animation ever" is an absolute "must have" requirement for
productivity applications.

And by "screenworkers" I didn't refer to programmers. Those people
rarely have to use the stuff that they implement.

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
