That is utterly true.  Just navigating through them is hard, and
on top of that you have to learn a whole new set of keys.  Any
form that is used by newbies HAS to have intructions on how to
fill out a form, and  athough it is a learning experience, that
means added distraction from the main purpose.

I vote for this being the way we go.  Do you have a draft up
somewhere we can take a look at, or a URL for "So you found a bug"?
