What's the Fascination with Ten Key Less?

I see so many people complain when there aren't ten key less models of keyboards etc. Literally a war goes on when it happens.

Whats so special about them? Isnt it best to have the numpad etc. incase you do need it? I find entering numbers much faster on the numpad.

Well the natural feeling is subjective. I actually use the num pad even if I have to enter just 4 numbers.
Is this "natural" feeling the only reason why?

Haha +1.
I could just find a tenkeyless membrane to try out.

I looked at a different forum and the diagrams they drew of how TKLs are better are absolutely hilarious! Shows you being double jointed all over your right arm if you use a full keyboard.

So to sum it up, it's just all subjective.

My desk is about 2m in depth so my arms have plenty of space to rest. Guess I can stick with full sizes!
Arm chair goes just below my desk anyway.
