People like it because "Keyboards are Evil" (see my FAQ:
http://www.sjbaker.org/steve/omniv/keyboards_are_evil.html) and whilst
other keys are 'iffy', they know that you can always press CTRL, ALT and
SHIFT in any combination without risk of the things I explain in my FAQ.

It's a continuing source of amazement to me that keyboards are such a
difficult input device...after all, electronic/digital keyboards have
been around LONG before the invention of the computer.  You'd really
hope we'd have got them right by now!
