alt Hacker NewsThis, so much this!
I have the same issue with Google Sheets. Non-experts don't understand how much of an impediment this is.
People need to watch a Shrekli video on YouTube to see how much some of us rely on the keyboard shortcuts.
You wouldn't expect a Vim user to just abandon their muscle memory and just switch to Emacs.

Understanding that it's not a perfect metaphor... plenty of vim users seem happy to switch to helix.
Took me about two weeks and I'm not looking back :)

Expect to just abandon, no. Expect to spend a reasonable time learning and trying out the new interaction paradigm to see if it could (after controlling for unfamilliarity) also suit them, yes. (The ultimate answer may turn out to be negative, like for me in the case of Emacs.)
