Two: I have never purchased dice. All the dice I use came with the boxed rpgs I got in the 80's. Admittedly it is more common to have to get dice separately these days, but is it easier to lug a dice bag around or the Jenga game?
Three: I have MS. I actually lost the ability to type for several months. I still don't have much sensitivty or coordination in the fingers. Dice require little coordination.
Personally, I have little trouble with 'gimmicky' provided it adds something to the game. Usually it doesn't (although I don't think this applies to Dread, as it actually is a different mechanism. I just don't like the mechanism. I'm not bothered by the fact it is 'gimmicky').
When it comes to dice, I play Other the Edge, which only uses d6's, so I don't think polyhedral dice are particularly necessary. Having said that, I really appreciate the existance of being able to roll percentile dice, but d6 and d100 are about the only dice I really see the need for.
