It's faster, nicer and easier. And I hate the mouse. In my opinion, I think the only thing the mouse should be used for is graphic programs and games. I'm an obsessive hotkey user. My fingers shouldn't have to leave the keyboard for anything when I'm typing up a Web page.
Speed is the key here, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's get on with it. Like Notepad simple, if not more. I want to be able to see as much as my content as possible. Having eight toolbars, six or seven little MDI windows and 16 tabbed areas leaves you a 3 x 2 inch area to actually edit. As for toolbars, just give me the basic menu bar cause I'm not going to even think about moving my mouse to the automatic bold tag insertion tool.
