Definitely requires time, took me about 3 weeks to get as fast as I was on a standard layout.

I have a boss who's in his mid-forties. After I was out a few days for my wisdom teeth, I was talking to him and he says ever since he was a kid his dentist has said he seriously needs his wisdom teeth removed. Man gives me the biggest smile and says "and I've been putting it off for 40 years! ", made me wince. I would be terrified at the prospect of getting them out after that long.

There is no definitive "human nature", so I would say it is in some individuals nature to be inhumane.

I love Thumb Key, it's a very unique and actively developed keyboard app.

Chromebooks are even worse: "Instead of hampering user's computers for safety, we'll make a 'computer' that just launches our proprietary web apps!"

And even if the App Store was perfectly safe, keeping users safe via restricting basic functionality instead of increasing tech literacy is a backwards approach

The fact that letting users choose what software they'd like to install wasn't seen as an fundamental part of a computer really highlights Apple's backwards philosophy towards user experience.

This probably isn't a helpful response, but for me, once something is inevitable I don't see a point in getting upset, so I don't. For instance I' the dogs tracv dirt through the house, I'd definitely be a bit annoyed that I have to clean it up, but actually letting it get to me would only serve to make my night worse.

I use LaTeX, and edit using Emacs. The nice thing about LaTeX is the editor you use doesn't matter.

LaTeX was my entry point into plain text (and honestly computing in general), really good recommendation.
