Not for me either. I want a remote I can use without looking at it, so I'll never go to something with only a touch screen.
Besides, I'm icon blind (dunno if that's a real medical condition). If my desktop with dozens of app shortcuts gets messed up, I'll spend ages hunting for an icon. I don't want touch screen or soft key remotes where stuff moves around, forcing me to actually read what's on the buttons.
Actually I don't give Beo4 or Beolink 1000 very high points either. They are too long, you often need to press button sequences that are difficult to reach with a single grip, and I don't even have particularly small hands.
