The RISC principle. Make the 80% of instructions that are used 80% of
the time the most efficient. Don't compromise this for a few obscure
things that can still be achieved but a bit more slowly by building from
simpler instructions. These things don't happen often so overall you get
greater productivity even if they are slow because the most used stuff
is a lot faster.

Personally I have never seen what all the fuss is about on the issue of
word count. Open a blank document, copy and paste your para into it and
there you have a para word count. Probably takes one or two seconds
longer to do that than go to a specific menu item. How many people
regularly need to count the words in a para? To me getting better
support for vector graphics is far more important, getting documents to
load and save faster is far more important.
