Shortcuts are a wonderful thing. And there is actually no system that does not work with shortcuts - indeed, it is often necessary. In many cases, it is more a matter of "taste" how you want to work with a system. Whether you are more of a "mouse person" or prefer to keep your hands on the keyboard.
