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.
