Okay... If you ask two people to write a letter, one person has a computer and once person has a pen and paper, you'll probably find little difference between them when it comes to writing a single letter, getting it on paper and in an envelope.
Now ask them to write the same letter 20 times then the computer user will do it a lot faster. Ask them to write completely different letters to 20 different people then the gain is much reduced. As I said, the difference is subtle, but you might consider it if you had to weigh up which platforms to develop on for which applications.
