Hi Larry,
I have lots of experience with video editing suites, both traditional, and
high end workstation based systems. They each have their advantages, and I
haven't noticed any speed advantage for either when it comes to
post-production. When it comes to live production, however, buttons and
knobs win hands down IMO.
The point is not so much *if* buttons, sliders, knobs and the like are
better, but how the operating controls are arranged. For example, I
would hate to think of doing a live edit of a sports event if everything
is mounted a vertical plane.
Otoh, I was involved in a live sports magazine show, which was produced
in a virtual studio - this would not have been possible without a
context sensitive GUI on a computer screen.
For a contest situation I would like a little of both, especially if my
hands do not have to "wander" around to operate various parts of the
station and at the same time do the logging.

PPS: Amazing how my innocent question whether the ADT-200A had been
tested somewhere, has resulted in a wonderful thread dealing with many
aspects of modern radio design...
