Great video, from a master comedian. I agree with him on writing Seinfeld as opposed to typing it on a computer. It feels much more organic and human to create comedy, music, etc. on a piece of paper as opposed to typing it on a computer.

Is there an improvement to be made in software to rectify this?

Yes- individualized physical feedback. Right now hitting any one key is the same as hitting another and it doesn't feel different or personable. If there was a more unique way of getting feedback based on what you were inputting, then it would feel more personal and comfortable.

On the other hand, I don't think that the current design paradigms are moving that way.
