There are three different things here: - Using the mouse or the keyboard - What kind of menus - Using the file dialog box or not In my own case I very seldom use the mouse, but I use the w32 menus. I am used to them since I in most programs on w32 have to use the menus. On the other hand after using Emacs for a while I am expecting prompting through the mini-buffer. That gives me the advantage of the mini-buffer histories.
