I have very bad wrists, swipe and middle-click is great when I'm doing a 
clicky task, but I prefer to cut and paste with the keyboard as much as 
possible. It's quicker too, although, with Gnome I sometimes have errors 
and even dataloss due to Gnome being so horribly slow. Does that 
dataloss make Gnome speed bugs major?

Especially for new users, the keyboard can be *much* easier. no fine 
motor control, no cluttered pictures to examine carefully, and no need 
to worry about which part of the picture you should be looking at.
