I encounter this sentiment all over the internet. Can someone please explain it to me? What is it that they think the new interface does better via touch than what can be done with mouse/keyboard? My opinion is that using a computer via touch is much more difficult than with a mouse/keyboard and that touch is really only useful on a small screen device that doesn't have a mouse/keyboard.
It's like the touchpad on my laptop, I only use it if a mouse isn't available.
