I'm less concerned about raw keystrokes than I am about repetitive things that I have to keep in my head at all times.

Simple iteration over the key/value pairs of a javascript object requires that I remember to check hasOwnProperty at the right times. Soaking up nulls is a pain. Dealing with args kind of sucks. There's quite a bit more.

It's less valuable that these things can be done with shorter character sequences, and more valuable that I don't have to think about them nearly as much.
