No, but it's an excellent cache for it. Try to find a better verified
one with comparable levels of accessibility and breadth.

Which is why pike called it 'legacy'. If you haven't called
something you basically agree with 'nonsense' I probably wouldn't have
bothered with the quote.

Not a plot but a de facto standard that is hard to avoid. You can't
assume users to be familiar with anything else or to habituate
themselves to a new input method. On the FR I plan to use the Twiddler
chording keyboard (see http://handykey.com), but like most people who
already know qwerty and need to use other people's computers
occasionally, the initial effort of learning a better method and the
ongoing price of having to continuously switch between them are simply
excessive.
