Dear Kadaitcha, keep in mind that there is a lot of people out there 
which do not exactly understand what a keyboard is. Typically, when a 
message box with an OK button pops up, they leave up the right hand from 
the keyboard to grab the mouse and click the OK button. In this 
philosophy, you should not wonder when you see applications you can't 
use without a mouse, because the majority of people don't even notice. 
But the majority of people also believes to be a computer guru, and if 
you say "I think this is a mistake" they will reply "it's you who is 
wrong, because things have always been done this way".

Being used to delphi, the first time I've seen the VB menu editor I 
laughed: it was crap compared to delphi's one. When I discovered gambas, 
I saw the same menu editor. But I didn't laugh anymore; there are many 
things I would love to change but, on the other hand, gambas has an 
unbeated productivity in the linux desktop. What you are saying is right 
- everyone would benefit from this change, but not everyone understands it.

Salutations,
