Everyone wants fewer clicks and less hunting for the tool in a menu. But 
"better menu access for some workflows" might well mean "worse menu 
access for other workflows".

I forced myself to learn Krita keyboard shortcuts from the beginning. 
But I got into the habit of using GIMP without using keyboard shortcuts.

For people who already use a lot of keyboard shortcuts when using GIMP, 
how much does using keyboard shortcuts mitigate or eliminate the 
useability problems for which the contextual menus are a proposed solution?
