I think it would be much straightforward (less thinking) -- "I want to 
make the line from here to there horizontal/vertical; end".

In comparison -- you have to make the same steps, but additionally you 
have to select another tool and type in the values you see on the 
screen. 

One rotation per day, ok, but ~100 rotations a day, it is significant 
boost, because it means ~500 keystrokes less (and less focus, you 
have to pay attention each time you type the values). So, I think you 
would be less tired with the tool as I proposed after working with 
the images.

Cheers,
