I've been thinking about the whole "fingerless glove thing" - I actually like them, but maybe because I don't compare them to gloves with full fingers? like, they're a completely different thing for me, just like sleeves with thumbholes. I find both of those things nice and cozy and a tad badass, and the latter are also amazing if you're working on a tablet that doesn't have the whole "palm rejection" down as much as you wish it had. so, a more practical reason.
but I would never compare them to gloves, they're a different entity for me
