> Downside is nowadays in office setting one has to operate 20+ different applications to get work done.

Like ? Even as a developer I'm not consistently using 20 different "big apps". 2 chat programs, IDE, terminal, mail client, wireshark, maybe some GUI DB tool if I feel lazy that day

> I could spend my time to type 100WPM but I am not a typist - as a software dev it is quite enough to go with 40-60WPM because it is just small part of my work.

Not really about wpm but ability to hit few shortcuts to get where I want instead of navigating thru 4 different panels to get to the one option I need

Maybe not daily, but still consistently: word/excel/pdf reader for documentation and all company documents to refer, web browser - each internal/SaaS app we use for tracking tickets managing deployments/repositories. I count each web-app as app, just like if I use GIT and kubectl from terminal still two different apps that I have to understand and operate with some knowledge but not in depth.

That was also my point on WPM I don’t operate computer like I would operate typing machine where I can learn set of motions and be done. I don’t operate terminal as well I operate apps That have text interface. These apps also change during months depending on what I am working on.
