Yes; I have used applications which map musical notes to the computer 
keyboard (such as iPiano).  But I felt that the need to invoke keyboard 
shortcuts to switch octaves is cumbersome.  I guess with enough 
practice....
Maybe I'm just lazy; I already know the piano keyboard so it is 
comfortable for me to click back and forth with the mouse to enter 
notes and set the (less frequently changed) durations with my left 
hand.  This would not work well for "live" recording (as with iPiano), 
but is fine for step-entry (as with MIDI Builder).  Then again, to do a 
lot of live MIDI data entry, a true external MIDI keyboard is probably 
best.
