That, and you might also want to make some distinctions between some kinds of RTS. There is quite a difference between Age of Empires (clicking speed just matters more than almost anything), and a slower-paced games such as Warzone 2100 (or was it 2150?) or Enemy Nations, or possibly Europa Universalis.

So I have nothing against real-time, as long as it does not turn the game into a click slugfest. I know it was why I did fairly well when I played Age of Kings (that was several years ago; youth makes its mistakes), but this factor wouldn't matter so much in EU (unless playing a quick multiplayer game, but that would be a different problem).
