I think there's a great product somewhere in Notion – the blending of wiki/database/etc is great – but THIS is the biggest issue I have with it. Everything I do just takes that bit longer than software that I choose to use, because everything is designed around the mouse.

Keyboard shortcuts aren't enough to create a good UX for the keyboard, the whole UX needs consideration, and Notion has unfortunately failed on that.

For a while their text editor was very poor, to the point where my colleagues and I all edited text in other software and copied it in. This has improved a lot in the last year or so, but there are still plenty of issues at the block level and upwards, it's just the word-level that got better.
