> I don't get the hype of keyboard == hacker mentality
There's no (or extremely little...) hype, it's just the sort of thing which starts to appear prominent in a world where conversations are driven more and more by the titles on videos and articles, rather than the other way around.
I claim that the following are all pretty factual, all at once:
1. meese can be faster and more convenient, in certain cases
2. keyboards can be faster and more convenient, in certain cases
3. what people (even the computer-savvy) are used to matters much more than what is "objectively" best or fastest or whatever
4. "hacker" is a polysemic term - playful creative norm-bending, technical mastery of some domain, making Ataris and Amigas do funny stuff it seems they shouldn't have been able to, getting access to a gaming console you weren't supposed to, solving a problem in a surprising manner, reverse engineering some game, etc
5. emacs is an empowering, wonderful text editor
6. so is (hyper/super/ultra/n/eo/) vi(m)
7. nyxt is about much more than keyboard shortcuts (Lisp, freedom, etc)
