EQ also uses keyboard intensively. However, its interface is only very
loosely modal, compared to AC's highly modal interface. Notably, in
EQ, while you're typing, the arrow keys still perform their normal
movement functions, unless you press shift at the same time.
AC's interface and horrible client-server relationship are probably
the biggest detrimental features that confine it to its smaller niche.
