Maybe if excel is your main software used I could see that, can’t remember the last time I typed enough numbers to make it worth it though.

I don't like playing Nethack without it :(

But yeah, I guess that's fair, not everybody's workload is going to involve inputting incident numbers, and order numbers, and asset numbers, etc etc etc all the time... even IP addresses, I just find it so much more comfortable with the numpad, whereas I find I have a tough time touch-typing on the number row.
