I wonder if this is more common among Linux users. If an application has good keyboard support, I’m ALL over that instead of using a mouse. That’s one reason web applications really annoy me, they usually have terrible keyboard support, or the browser shortcuts interfere.

Maybe detest is too strong a word. More like I prefer to avoid it if at all possible (unless it’s something like CAD or most gaming where the mouse is basically essential)

    I’d wanna know what percentage of mouse haters are on laptops w/o an external mouse instead of desktop setups.

    I’ll die on the hill that mouse + Good Guis are gonna be easier and faster for most tasks.

    But laptop trackpads just still kinda suck, I’d probably go for as keyboard centric of a interface as possible if I was forced to use a laptop without an external mouse.

    Also just gonna call it. People like the “Hacker aesthetic” and that’s fine. I care more that people use their PC how they want to.

      Two-finger scroll won me over to the trackpad and I never looked back. A mouse is an annoying complication IMO - and on the way out along with desktop computers, despite what the out-of-touch geeks in this forum wishfully think. Might as well get ahead of the game.
