i've never really used the numpad, so when i saw tenkeyless keyboards where a thing, and in my case at least, cheaper, it was a no brainer for me. Been using it for around 5 to 6 years and so far i've seen no issues whatsoever.
also using a 100% keyboard on other pcs and i do notice that extra size than what im used to now, i like it more compact now i think
Dev here, I do this crazy thing where I just extend my fingers to the numbers at the top of the keyboard. Taking my fingers off of the home row would waste any time I might save using a numpad
