Do you kind of detest the mouse? (sh.itjust.works)

I wonder if this is more common among Linux users. If an application has good keyboard support, I'm ALL over that instead of using a mouse. That's one reason web applications really annoy me, they usually have terrible keyboard support, or the browser shortcuts interfere.

Maybe detest is too strong a word. More like I prefer to avoid it if at all possible (unless it's something like CAD or most gaming where the mouse is basically essential)

Seriously depends on the application. Having to use a mouse to navigate three menu levels down for a function that could be done with a keyboard shortcut is a point where a mouse is the wrong tool. But try to get something done in a graohics program with keys only.
