It certainly feels like it. I have particular problems remembering 
hot-keys. I rarely use them and rely heavily on the mouse and menus. I 
think the main reason is because I have to regularly use 7 different 
desktops on 4 different operating systems and don't like surprises when 
a hot-key doesn't do what you expect.

On top off not actually giving you a hint as to what the hot key should be.
