Hilarious that your argument is your carpel-tunnel - Look at the code again and you'll see it's laid out so the computer can fill in the information for you = less typing. By typing the FROM first, the whole next SELECT statement can be auto added with a single key (perhaps `). Or you can write the SELECT yourself, but only have to type the first char of each column name before the IDE auto completes it.

The tab structure shows you at a glance what tables join to what (not uncommon to see this parent-child in XML for example, or you know, any other programming language ever).

Your last point is void - just look at C#, Java, C++, Go and so on. All reuse keywords for different purposes. It's not hard to switch context in your head depending on the language.
