Well, with Gnome-Shell and Zeitgeist, it seems that this is the
direction Gnome is going anyway...

But the problem is, as much as I agree that FATY is simple and
powerful, it is also something kinda scary, because the average
user is primarily mouse-based and typing to interact using the
keyboards usually triggers a "OMG DIFFICULT COMMAND LINE!"
gag reflex in most of them.

We should also keep in mind that the average user is probably
a slow typist.
