Trying to let my 3yo try as many different technology interfaces as possible. Mouse: not too bad, especially after reducing sensitivity. Keyboard: WASD is easy to lose track of in a sea of buttons. Controller: requires both hands together, which is tricky. Arguably the left hand is more important too, hard for a right hander.

The motivations of YouCompleteMe, emphasising a design that requires the user to press no buttons to see completions:
YouCompleteMe, a Fast, As-You-Type, Fuzzy-Search Code Completion Engine for Vim - Val Markovic
It has an identifier-based engine that works with every programming language and a Clang-based engine that provides semantic code completion for C and C++.

Does usability research suffer from historical bias? I've seen papers suggest that old-fashioned buttons with a bezel are better than the modern flat style. That seems reasonable, but I wonder if the effect would be smaller if early GUIs were flat.
