As a "domain expert", I come from the end-user side of "enterprise
applications" and again; those are not tools for screenworkers to get
actual work done, but consumer crap for fad-driven gadget-addicted kids
(regardless of nominal age).

A GUI that can not be used without taking the ten fingers off the
keyboard is indeed entirely unusable for any half-proficient
screenworker. And anyone doing actual productive screenwork every day
for more than just a few months will inevitably (have to) get proficient
(unless completely braindead).

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
