It depends on how often I’ll be using something and what kind of application it is.

I assume Gmail has keyboard shortcuts, but I never used them and never cared. However, when using Miro, I very quickly looked up and learned some basic keyboard shortcuts, because the constant tool switching is hell without them. With the shortcuts I can fly. I see other people at work use Miro without the shortcuts and it’s like watching someone wade through molasses, and they constantly talk about how much they hate it.

I think it can be make or break, but it depends on the app and the type of user you expect.
