I can't even imagine how painful the "Find Again" command would be if I
had to keep selecting it from a menu rather than typing command-g.
Infrequently used commands I'm sure are slower to find/use with the
keyboard than with the mouse. But infrequent commands are (almost by
definition) a tiny percentage of time spent. The primary advantage
mouse/menus have over key shortcuts is discoverability.. I can drop down
a menu and browse a few dozen commands in the time it would take me to
open a Terminal window and grep through man emacs, for instance.
This is why clear, easy to comprehend menu labels are so important IMHO.
