I think you're asking a lot of users, just to avoid doing something that other programs offer. If it's so problematic, why do other programs do it?
Because text doesn't consist of letters and punctuation marks only. And you surely want other often used special characters to be easy accessible. E.g. following russian typography traditions you need two types of quotation marks for a text in two languages like Russian and English, because Russian quotation marks are not the same as in American English. Using a pop-up menu or even a hotkey is _a lot_ easier than going to gucharmap or whatever or even using clipboard. This is the matter of experience, no kidding, no offence :)
