Linux/UNIX users are convinced of the superiority of keyboard control and CLI tools, but studies have shown that the mouse is faster for almost all common tasks.
Keyboard input feels faster because there are more actions per second.

Do you think that daily CLI Linux/UNIX users might have a different list of what they consider "common tasks"?
I dont think they have different list.
Replying email, copy/moving files, writting document, etc
