Sucks on the tabletop computer, being heavily pointing-device oriented in an application requiring textual input. Whereas combined use of the mouse and the keyboard can work great in applications like Blender and FPS games, it simply won't work in applications where you type a lot. Not with the standard two-handed keyboards, and I've yet to see a better text input method. Such a "type/store commands somewhere" interface could, however, work nicely on a pocket book sized touch screen tablet (a real lightweight one, not a bloated pseudo-tablet of the hinged laptops) with hand-writing recognition, where the keyboard would necessarily be too crappy to have at all. -- Tuomo
