It's always been very strange for me that people who use computers hours and hours per day don't customize their workflows in any ways. Same people who customize and spend a long time choosing their car because they sit an hour or two every day in those, who are always improving their efficiency in stuff like building things, cleaning, cooking etc.. Then they go to their 6-12 hour daily stint on computer and use Edit->Copy, Edit->Paste to copy&paste stuff and that's the level they stay on forever, only changing things when updates change it for them.


Perhaps because that kind of person only uses a computer for work, and never for themselves.

If their career won't see any benefits by improving their computer skills, they have no reason to care about inefficiency.
