I think all of us who have spent years at the keyboard suffer at least some nerve damage. We can get very proficient at it, but it's still not a natural human thing to do. Yeah, coding is a different animal altogether. Does seem to be really good for email though, and I suppose doc as well. The part that I look mostly forward to is opened communications with people who only speak other languages. That's a barrier that has to go. Of course all that glitters isn't gold. In a somewhat similar vein, I've been using Camtasia for training videos and I'm seeing that while that tool performs just fine, the real limit isn't the software, but my own inability to render really useful presentations. Same is true for thinking and writing in general, specific language aside.
