    I may never have mastered vim but in Winamp 2 I had Q (queue) and J (jump to & alt-Q queue) absolutely nailed. Even with my peasantlike 15k tracks I felt like a boss navigating around my collection-as-a-playlist in split-second bursts of keyboard scrabbling. Sadly these shortcuts didn’t make it into Winamp 5. Ever since, it’s always struck me how popular music player UIs have become slower - doing the equivalent search/queue in Spotify or Apple Music might require the mouse and waiting for loading spinners.

      100 x the processing power, 10 x slower. Unfortunately that’s where most software is heading.
