I definitely agree with this.

I voted (slightly late) for having org-tempo in org-modules--not out of any
love of org-tempo itself, but more because it feels to me like an extremely
natural way to create blocks.
The tab key is extremely easy to hit, and having a fully formed block
created by typing a short string of characters makes the tab-completion
lizard-part of my brain happy in a way that key chord combos simply don't.

I think this is partly because I personally can't do key chords at the same
rate I can type a string of characters--even if they require technically
the same number of keystrokes.
Like, I can type a 10 character command *significantly* faster than I can
hit a number of different combinations of keys that also happen to be 10
keypresses.

I just personally find it really nice!
