It just feels like UIs of software 10,20, even 30 years ago were designed for "operators", people that actually worked with the software for hours at end, and so with a little bit of learning you could be dancing with keybindings and doing stuff as fast as CLI nerds.
Nowadays most seems to be optimized for first hour of use of new user and not much else, and the exceptions are software made "by operators, for operators", like for example KiCAD.
While as operator you would spend more like 80% of your time using the same interface and application.
I could spend my time to type 100WPM but I am not a typist - as a software dev it is quite enough to go with 40-60WPM because it is just small part of my work.
Like ? Even as a developer I'm not consistently using 20 different "big apps". 2 chat programs, IDE, terminal, mail client, wireshark, maybe some GUI DB tool if I feel lazy that day

Not really about wpm but ability to hit few shortcuts to get where I want instead of navigating thru 4 different panels to get to the one option I need
That was also my point on WPM I don’t operate computer like I would operate typing machine where I can learn set of motions and be done. I don’t operate terminal as well I operate apps That have text interface. These apps also change during months depending on what I am working on.
Seriously. Until your comment, I thought the two terms to be synonyms.
