I love multitouch, but keystrokes are so much faster than using the touchpad.

Sure it depends on what task I am trying to accomplish, I should have prefaced that. If I am in the IDE I use the keyboard. But, if I am doing tasks like managing files I tend to use the pad.

Even for copying files, the keyboard is often quite a bit faster. Especially if you take the time to learn bash well.

I prefer the finder to the shell for file management.

And the joy of OS X is that you have both a polished GUI and a solid shell.
