Rubbish.

Good thing I'm a:
keyboard/mouse/menu/toolbar/button user

I'll take away your command-s, command-c, command-v, command-o, and so on
and see how that affects your productivity. One of the Mac advantages is
that command-q is always quit: your brain doesn't have to spend time or
energy "thinking" about it.

There's a reason they're called "shortcuts."

Emacs and who knows what else is probably off-topic, anyway. Isn't our time
better spent telling someone what to do with their life instead?
