Yeah, that's probably part of it. It took me a while to adapt but I like it better for the most part as I'm a huge mouse user.

I had a little bit of experience with DOS and Windows 3.1, but most of my PC using was Windows 95 and above so I've grown up relying on a mouse and hating keyboards for anything other than typing.

Same reason I mainly use SPSS for my statistical work--programs like Stata and SAS are better regarded, but I love being able to point and click through menus vs. relying on typed syntax.
