Hmm, yeah. Considering that in Xara, I simply cannot use keyboard for
many tasks that I routinely use it for in Inkscape (including such
basic tasks as scrolling canvas, scaling/rotating objects, or
adjusting kerning/letterspacing), I guess that my average Inkscape
session has rather more keystrokes (but fewer "mousestrokes") per
minute than in Xara.

Whether it's an advantage of Xara is another question, of course...
