I bet not. I've been used to gnome-do up to the day I figured out that gnome already had that (ALT+F2), even though the gnome-do version has other features... but it happened I didn't really need them. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people who do not really like using a mouse. Having keyboard shortcuts is a need. Especially people who code are often ( I guess ) really fast writing and it gets faster to type a shortcut+program name than to moooooovvveeeee the mouse to a desktop shortcut or any sort of menu to browse and then get to click to the program we want. Text is generally more suitable as soon as you get used to writing with a keyboard because of its precision. The mouse isn't precise, it moves all the time, so the movement is different => no automation. The keyboard doesn't move, so we get automated to typing shortcuts and it gets clearly faster. Well, it's probably only my opinion, but I use ALT+F2 REALLY often and will probably not change such a habit with my next linux version. It may just change from ALT+F2 to Super or another keystroke. The autocompletion in this command runner is somehow important because we do not want to have to memorize everything. The computer is here to help. I'd love to have something like spotlight to be able to reach everything easily. I hope Zeitgeist will be integrated once so that we can use it to have a better autocompletion.
