Every-day pedestrian computer tasks should be easy to complete with the keyboard only. Mice were bad enough as a crutch for lazy users, but now it's a crutch for lazy developers.

Let me pick on Mozilla for a second. In many of Firefox's menus, they have alt keys. You know, an underlined letter in a word that you can select by holding the alt key and pressing that letter. In FF, many of these letters are capitalized. So now you have to press shift+alt+whatever letter. Criminally bad design.

    Let's add to this that keyboard, mouse, and touchpad are interfaces to the same system and so should have access to the same behaviors so you don't need all three of them to be productive. Looking at you MacOS.
