Actually from an ergonomic view point moving and clicking a mouse and hitting a key on the keyboard are miles apart, that was my point. From a time point of view it is also faster to hit keys than to move and click a mouse, in another thread I suggest hotkeying the host and nation buttons. It would make the wait (small that it is) less, and save some strain on the old wrist muscles.
And you are somewhat right about it being in the eye of the beholder, but to suggest that this feature would keep someone from playing Dom over any other feature is the height of hyperbole. If your main concern with a game is how many mouse clicks it takes to do something (and we're talking about 2 or 3 here, not dozens ala MoO3) then I don't think you've explored the other features of the game in enough detail.
I don't have a problem with a change to the existing system though, I just find it amusing that anyone would feel so strongly about it that they would threaten to stop playing *solely* because of the system.
