It became all "Minority Report" all of a sudden. Not sure that I like this: a limited set of recognized finger twiddling.

Compare the mouse with the keyboard: I still use the keyboard for 95% of all operations, even in the GUI.

Compare the power of the GUI with its limited conceptual set, with the power of the command line.

Finger twiddling doesn't really combine with simultaneous key-tapping.

Additionally, I want to eat stcky buns at my computer, which is tolerable at the moment, but I don't want my screen to end up all messy.
