I'm not shocked. Same story with Wordperfect and all its F-keys, and keyboard shortcuts, over Word and its mouse driven UI. Secretaries at the time hated the change.

Text input is so much faster, and of you're typing a lot, keyboard <-> mouse movements slow you down.

I'm still learning how powerful all of Emacs' navigation bindings can be, and I've been using it exclusively since 2010. Never leaving the home row, and not needing a weird keyboard or a million fragile overrides, is a superpower - and one that also applies anywhere GNU readline is available.
