That's all very well, but most of the time you end up typing more
characters in the new hint system than in the old, unless you type the numbers
that is, which to most people is less convenient than using the keys on the
home row. Moreover, on many pages, especially bloated ones, there are several
links that are identical or start with the same few letters, so you end up
using numbers (or tab) anyhow. Don't get me wrong. I think the new system is
well thought out, but for me it works better in theory than in practice.
